Remarks
Thomson joked to MacCallum that one of his works was so bad that when he left it behind to dry, a lynx scratched it (see MacCallum 1918). There are two works with scratches on the verso: Autumn, Algonquin Park, Fall 1914 (1914.83) and this sketch. Possibly these works are the ones he joked about.
