CITY & PROVINCIAL DIRECTORIES (refer to DIR)
"Through the art of Mary Gordon, one of
the graduates in Crafts and Commercial Arts, runs the element of
laughter. Her Animated Map of Stanley Park in Winter, which hung
for weeks in the window of the Arts and Crafts Building, added much
to the gaiety of pedestrians who paused on their way to make out
the quaint figures."
From "GRADUATES IN ART" by Cintra
(unknown newspaper), April 25, 1936
" ... Mary Gordon ... has painted work on wood of appealing design."
