      • WILLIAM ARMSTRONG WATERCOLOR OF A WAGON TRAIN CROSSING THE PLAINS
        Nov. 23, 2024

        WILLIAM ARMSTRONG WATERCOLOR OF A WAGON TRAIN CROSSING THE PLAINS

        Est: $25,000 - $35,000

        ARMSTRONG, William (Canadian, 1822–1914). A Wagon Train Crossing the Plains. Colored chalks and watercolor on paper. 17 3/4" x 27 1/4" sheet, 26 1/2" x 36 1/2" framed. The son of a Royal Irish Artillery officer, William Armstrong studied art in Dublin and served his apprenticeship as an engineer on the Irish and English railways before emigrating to Toronto in 1851. He was partner in the firm of Armstrong, Beer, & Hine Civil Engineers, Draughtsman and photographers. Armstrong traveled to Lake Superior in 1859 and from then on took advantage of surveying work to travel and sketch extensively in lands then unsettled by Europeans. He took particular interest in the native populations of the northern plains, such as the Assiniboin and the Sioux, glimpsed in the years immediately prior to their confinement to reservations. Fort William provided him with the opportunity to document the evolving commerce of the area. The Assiniboin natives had an important role in the local commerce - the fur trade - for it was their technology, especially the birch bark canoe and snowshoe, which enabled the Europeans to succeed. Armstrong's most sought after watercolors are those which he worked up from sketches completed during his travels in 1859 to Fort William (now the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada). Many of these watercolors were presented to the Prince of Wales on his visit to Toronto in September 1860. The drawings in the Royal Collection, housed at Windsor Castle, include similar subjects to the present, suggesting the present watercolors also take their subjects from sketches taken in 1859 between Lake Superior and Winnipeg.

Campbell,  Early Days on the Great Lakes: The Art of William Armstrong, McClelland and Stewart Limited, Toronto / Montreal, 1971, pages 125, 105 for a related work and pages 112-122 for this lot, reproduced. J. Russell Harper, Paul Kane's Frontier, University of Toronto Press, Toronto, 1971, page 63.William Armstrong (1822-1914) is among a cadre of painters who in the early days of the development of the country that would become Canada, made record of the indigenous peoples, flora, fauna and, eventually, industry they encountered here. Many of the earliest watercolourists were itinerant army officers posted overseas for a limited time, tasked with marking territory in order to lay claim to this new land. This first wave of topographical artists had often trained as engineers and had as part of their course of study intense drawing instruction of the kind provided at Woolwich under Paul Sandby. While many also painted for pleasure, their first objective was martial. This first wave included artists such as George Heriot (d. 1839), James Pattison Cockburn (posted to Canada ca. 1822) and James Duncan (d. 1881).Subsequently, these topographical painters would be replaced by resident watercolourists who were increasingly interested in how the country's resources could be exploited. Scenes of industry - railway, road and bridge building for example - and other records of settlement as well as recreational pursuits, became their primary preoccupation. William Armstrong belonged to this second generation of painters. A short time before Armstrong emigrated to Canada from Ireland (ca.1851), fellow countryman Paul Kane began travelling about the land recording his impressions of what he sensed, like George Caitlin in the U.S., might be a disappearing nation. He could see that Canada's indigenous people were being severely impacted by European settlement. Kane embarked on his first trip west to explore the Upper Great Lakes in 1845. During the course of his wanderings he, too, painted the region depicted by Armstrong in this lot. In the diary he kept which was published as "Wanderings of an Artist among the Indians of North America" in 1859,  Kane notes in particular the importance of the Kaministiquia River which he regarded as an important depot for trade. Many minerals were found in this area - particularly copper and silver, which created a rush to the area by hopeful prospectors.  Like Armstrong, Kane travelled by canoe along the river and was struck by these remarkable vessels. Kane writes: "These are constructed of the bark of the birch tree, and are about twenty-eight feet long and four or five feet beam (wide), strong and capable of carrying besides the crew of eight men, twenty five pieces (bundles of goods each weighing approximately ninety pounds, packaged to make them easy to remove during portages) but at the same time so light they can be easily carried on the shoulders of two men."In a facsimile publication of Kane's sketchpad there are drawings of these canoes from various angles, some in graphite only, some picked out in watercolour, including figures paddling and poling through rapids, just like the figures shown here. The Kaministiquia empties into Lake Superior at Thunder Bay. Its most renowned and awesome feature is Kakabeka Falls which many who have visited claim to be different to but as impressive as the falls at Niagara. The name of the river comes from an Oijbwe word meaning two islands referring to the two large islands at its mouth. The Kaminisitiquia became an important route to western Canada and as a result much industry was located at critical spots along it including sawmills, grain elevators, docks, coal yards and other manifestations of industry that would have ap
