This work depicts Rosary Hall (9947 - 104 Street), and is an example of the type of work George Weber did documenting the built environment in Edmonton. In 1976, Weber received a Recognition Award from the Edmonton Historical Board for his series of sketches and watercolours of historic buildings and sites in the city (see RG-21.2.3 file 167).

This architectural rendering was done in the 1970s as part of an unrealized proposal for a 102 Street Mall. The City had been looking at proposals to develop the area into a mall since at least 1968. The consultants behind this work were Barton - Aschman Associates, Inc. out of Evanston, Illinois. This firm did municipal planning work for cities around the world.

Born in 1913, M. Kathleen Kaufman joined the Edmonton Art Club in 1934, and participated in club exhibitions between 1935 and 1953.

She would go on to become a member of the Alberta Society of Artists, and serve as the Treasurer of the Edmonton Art Club. She began studying printmaking in the 1950s, learning silk screening and serigraphy under George Weber at the Edmonton Art Gallery, as well as taking courses at the University of Alberta’s Department of Extension.

This work was painted by John McCullson. While nothing is currently known about the artist, the work depicts the salvage effort of the Gerona of Dundee, Scotland. The ship was stranded October 27, 1892 within 30 yards of land at Skisa Head, Caithness, Scotland. It was bound for Montreal with 1,100 tons of general cargo, a crew of 36 and 12 passengers. It is believed that this painting reflects the experience of some Western Europeans who emigrated to Edmonton at the turn of the twentieth century, and it may have an as-yet-undiscovered connection with other records in the collection at the City of Edmonton Archives
