Other Notes

Acland's title indicates a familiarity with Chinese art. It is the only picture among those he made during his tour of Canada that he entitled in this way. His association with Chinese art may derive from the perspective he had of the village laid out along the north shore of Rice Lake as he approached by water on the steamer Otonabe
