Item Details
Description
The "Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island" map, artistically drawn by Clara Caie (1874-1955), granddaughter of ship owner Samuel Killan, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. The neatness, accuracy and penmanship is evident. This work was completed in April 1888; a pure gem that was passed through the family. Condition noted, foxing. Measuring, 15 1/2” height x 19 1/2” width (map, at sight). The Larry Foster Collection. Note: Clara Caie used her wealth to help the community that she loved dearly. Clara, along with Samuel’s daughters Sophia and Clara, were responsible for a variety of projects that enhanced Yarmouth, including, Coronation Park, Milton Library, the clock atop the new Milton #2 Engine House, land and financial support to Yarmouth hospital, financial support for Holy Trinity Anglican Church and enrichment activities for Greenville school, just to name a few. Clara was also a strong advocate for women’s rights and very active in several local and national women’s organizations. She truly made Yarmouth better with her generosity.
