- Description
- This image is part of a series of drawings done by Mary Shaw, the sixth daughter and 11th child of Hon. Aeneas Shaw. Aeneas Shaw was the first settler of York and participated in the War of 1812. It is a pen and ink grey wash sketch and measures (framed) 28.7 X 25 cm. Some of Mary Shaw’s drawings are known to be very similar to those of Elizabeth Simcoe’s, wife of Governor John Graves Simcoe. The two families were known to have been friends however Mary Shaw was born in 1804, after Mrs. Simcoe had left Canada in 1796. Therefore, it is believed that Mary would not have actually seen any of Simcoe’s drawings. This drawing provides insight into what areas of Niagara could have looked like during the War of 1812.
