Addenda and Corrigenda to the Catalogue of the Centennial Exhibition, A Pageant of Canada

prepared by Major R. F. Wodehouse

Pages  1  |  2

In the organization of any large exhibition there are inevitable corrections and additions to the catalogue, once it has appeared in print. There are also, happily, genuine discoveries which are made in bringing the original works of art together in one place; and these should be recorded for interested scholars. It is for this reason that this postscript is added to the second of the two major Centennial exhibitions in Ottawa in the hope that it will provide a precedent for important exhibitions in the years to come. The addenda and corrigenda to Three Hundred Years of Canadian Art will appear in the next issue of the Bulletin.

Catalogue Nos.
62-62a For an unknown artist read J. Mauger

69 In place of the painting illustrated another version was sent by the lender which was rectangular in shape, with different detail in the lace, and not as finely painted.

71- 71a After Ottawa add By J. Mauger, 1713

158 and 159 The illustrations are transposed.

203(a) For Donn read Don River

204(b) For Donn read Don River

217 The title given is misleading. On the drawing itself a French flag is barely visible in the midst of the smoke of the fort in the middle distance. The drawing presumably represents the recapture of the forts at St. John's from the French in 1762 by the force from New York under Colonel William Amherst.

218 For present title read View of the Harbour, St. John's Newfoundland Add after last line The drawing illustrated did not arrive. In its place the lender sent a drawing by Peachey showing a view of the harbour taken from a spot to the right in No.217 and slightly lower down the hill.

Addendum 1. Add name of lender Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris

Addendum 2.1st line, for Credence Paten read Alms Dish; also in text.
