Unknown artist, believed to be active in the late 19th century
Watercolour may have been painted by British admiralty topographer Henry Wolsey Bayfield (1795-1885). Bayfield, a native of Hull, Yorkshire, entered the Royal Navy in 1806. His appointment as Admiralty Surveyor in British North American in June of 1817, began a forty-year career of that involved plotting a sizeable portion of the Great Lakes, namely Lakes Erie, Huron and Superior and their connecting waters. Bayfield also surveyed the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Strait of Belle Isle, and the islands in the Gulf (Anticosti, Magdalens, and Sable), as well as much of the coastal areas of the Maritime provinces. He resided at Québec from 1827 to 1841, and thereafter at Charlottetown, P.E.I. There is no information from either the source of the acquisition or the watercolour itself to further substantiate this attribution
