The Estate of James Ford Strachan IV, Victoria

Galbally, A., Arthur Streeton, Lansdowne Press, Melbourne 1969, p. 70:
"In January 1922, Streeton and his wife set sail for England via Canada, disembarking at Vancouver and travelling across country to St. Mary's, Ontario, where three months were spent with Mrs Streeton's mother. The Canadian landscape stimulated Streeton, and he returned there the following year from London for a painting trip."
