water colours, paintings and
sculptures. We invite you to
view the exhibit using the
“Storyline” feature.
In “The Penny Diary”, we
have created a 1902
travelogue of his voyages
from Europe to Southeast
Asia, the Mediterranean,
Scandinavia and Russia by
| matching his daily
observations with watercolour
images from the sketchbooks
he took to sea. Likewise,
“Sailing to Santos”
visualizes a young man’s
impressions of his first trip
to sea at the end of the days
of sail. Other stories
display his use of concrete
| for business, construction
and sculpture. Another
introduces the “Centreville
Socialists”, a pocket of
unconventional thought in a
Canada spooked by Communism.
We end with a look at The
Charles Macdonald House of
Centreville Society and its
work preserving the life
| works of Charles and Mabel
Macdonald.
We are pleased to have
this opportunity to showcase
“Nova Scotia’s Uncommon,
Common Man”.
