View in Harbour

Based on stylistic characteristics, Doris Shadbolt (1975) attributes these watercolours to about 1895. The scenes are mainly from the Victoria area, and the Fraser Valley. They predate Emily Carr's trips to coastal indigenous villages, but the prevalence of canoes and forests attest to her early interest in these themes, which she developed fully in her later paintings.
