John Innes Paintings - The Epic of Western Canada

This list of John Innes paintings was compiled from a 3-ring binder of printouts of historic photographs in the Vancouver Public Library's Special Collections. The photos were taken in 1927 by Dominion Photo Company. These paintings were apparently published in 1928, but were also exhibited. Printed titles were included in most of the photographs per list below. A letter written by Innes to the photographer in 1929 thanked them for their work.

The numbers listed are the VPL accession numbers.
