Noted Emily Carr expert, Kerry Mason of Victoria wrote 'This is a rare example of the watercolour sketches which the internationally renowned Canadian artist, Emily Carr, created in the early period of her career. Although this work is undated, evidence supports the dating of this watercolour at circa 1895.
Stylistically it belongs with the well known pen and ink sketches in the Emily Carr collection in the British Columbia Archives, two of which are entitled: James Bay Bridge [circa 1894-95]. and Rock Bay Bridge,1895.Several sketch books of this pre England, pre France period of Carr’s work are in both the B.C. Archives and private collections.'
