ALFRED CROCKER LEIGHTON (1901-?) ACROSS CANADA BY CANADIAN PACIFIC. Circa 1930. 39 3/4x24 3/4 inches, 101x64 cm. Condition B / B+: repaired tears, creases and abrasions in margins and image; restoration and overpainting along sharp vertical and horizontal folds. London-born Leighton began working for the Canadian Pacific before he even left Britain. A painter and an art teacher, he settled in Calgary in 1930. This dramatic nighttime scene captures the twilight hues of the Rockies and emphasizes the strength of the locomotive whose headlamp is cutting through the impending darkness.
