Paintings Given
Sixty original watercolours of early Christchurch —the biggest single collection of this century, have been presented to the Canterbury Museum by their artist, Mr Cranleigh Barton, of Clifton, Sumner. The director (Dr R. S. Duff) told the Museum Trust Board yesterday that the paintings had been painted over the last 50 years. Many were of scenes that had now disappeared from the city. Mr Barton had given them to the museum as a historic record of the Christchurch area, Dr Duff said.
