Remarks
Addison to Murray, 9 July 1991: “The only painting that is near Sims Pit that Mark Robinson told him about is on page #42 of Tom Thomson: The Algonquin Years. There were others but I couldn’t find an illustration of the Black Spruce Against a Cold Sky in any of my books.”
The painting was split by Eduard Zukowski, conservator of the then Art Gallery of Toronto.
