PROVENANCE
Collection of George Elijah Eckerman, Oregon and then Prince Rupert (1913 - 1947)
By descent to the present Private Collection, Georgia, USA


The consignor's grandfather, George Elijah Eckerman, was originally from Oregon and in 1913 moved to Prince Rupert as an entrepreneur in the dry goods business. He lived in Prince Rupert from 1913 until his passing in 1947. As inscribed on verso, this work was created in nearby Port Simpson, now known as Lax-Kw'alaams. This work has remained in the same family until its consignment to Heffel, in addition to lots 103, 104 and 105 by Frederick Alexcee.
