LITERATURE
The Canadian Forum, February 1924, reproduced page 143
Barker Fairley, Wild Geese and Other Poems, 1984, reproduced page 2
On verso there are the following inscriptions on the paper backing:
"Drawing for poem by Barker Fairley about 1936/ A.Y. Jackson (signed)/ April 5th, 1969" and "Not 1936 but nearer to 1922+/ Barker Fairley (signed)/ June 7 1969" and "lettering by Thoreau MacDonald (signed)/ Aug 27, 1971."
In 1984, Penumbra Press published an edition of Barker Fairley's book of poems, Wild Geese. Barker Fairley, who was well-acquainted with the owner of this Jackson ink drawing, suggested that it be reproduced in the publication; the owner was pleased to lend the drawing to the publisher so that it could be reproduced.
