Victoria's Canada The Robert McLaughlin Gallery of Oshawa held a unique show and sale on February 22, 23 and 24 with the lengthy title, THE GREAT VICTORIAN Upstairs- Downstairs ART SHOW, ANTIQUE SALE and High Tea. Mr. Alan Dewar, an Oshawa alderman, opened the art exhibition on February 20 and although the antique sale and tea is over, the exhibition of Victoria's Canada continues until March 31, 1979. Mr. Dewar is an avid collector of Victoriana and a collection of bis paintings and prints of Queen Victoria are in the North Gallery. The works span Queen Victoria's life from her coronation to her funeral and a watercolour of the Queen dated 1840 an a portrait engraved by D. Pound dated 1852 are among them. There are Jubilee portraits of Prince Albert Edward, Prince of Wales and Queen Victoria, 1897 as well as a showcase holding regal memorabilia such as a Jubilee issue candy jar. Also included are a Jubilee issue tea cloth and cake plate. Besides the works and Section Two Antiqueos By Mary Ann Warkman memorabilia owned by Mr. Dewar, there are five paint- ings depicting the Victorian era from O'Neill Collegiate which are from the R.S. McLaughlin Estate. These you will see upon entering the Gallery such as one dating 1872, "The Raging Storm", an oil by H. Garland. The South Gallery has works displayed from the Gallery's permanent collec- tion by such artists as Paul. Peel, Robert Harris, Antoine Plamondon and Cornelius Krieghoff, one being his strik- ingly bright 1860 "Habitant With Red Toque and Pipe". Twenty-three works from the Extension Department of the Art Gallery of Hamilton in the North Gallery show various looks at the Canadian landscape in water colour. As the framed note on "Canadian Water Colours, 19th Century" says, the history of water colour painting in Canada began with the arrival of "topographical" artists who were primarily British engineers and artillery officers sent out to garrisons in the colonies after the conquest of New France.
