Emily Carr’s autobiographical works, particularly The Book of Small, Growing Pains and The House of All Sorts will be the basis for this illustrated talk by John Adams. Emily’s descriptions of her childhood home and the early days of James Bay, Fairfield and many other parts of Victoria are some of the best contemporary word pictures of the city in the 1870s and 1880s. Archival photographs have been carefully chosen to match the places, events and people that Emily wrote about. This will be of particular interest to Emily Carr fans, as well as those who want a good overview of 19th century Victoria.
