Emily Carr
“In fact, there was even a welcoming article on the front page of a local newspaper, lauding her return from studying under the “English Masters.” Nevertheless, she was expected now to start a career and earn her own living.
Victoria was growing into a small city. Automobiles were appearing among the horse-drawn carriages. The Songhees reserve had been relocated away from the town to the Esquimault area. James Bay, where the Carr house was situated, had developed into a residential neighbourhood.... The bridge across which her father had walked to his warehouse was replaced by a causeway when part of the bay was filled in. The Empress Hotel was being built in its place of dominance over the Inner Harbour.
For eight months in 1905, Emily put her talents to use drawing political cartoons for the Victoria publication The Week. Her humour, and her evident graphic skills, show that she could easily have pursued a career as an illustrator. But, determined as ever to follow her own path, she relocated to Vancouver, and once more set up as a teacher of art.MoreLess
