1896 - Major W.R. Bell Sketch - in tophat

Written By Lesia Design Inc.

Side view sketch of Major Bell wearing a top hat. This sketch was created on June 27, 1896 - a few weeks or months after Major Bell permanently left the Bell Farm at Indian Head.

As Major Bell was in Bisley, England by July 17th, it is possible that the sketch may have been made in Canada or England.


While the artist's name is not readily decipherable, the date is: 27-6-96.
