Editing Paul Kane

Paul Kane's The Surveyor 1845-46 oil on canvas

'Fort Edmonton' and 'Metis Buffalo Hunters' shown below became faded over time. These have been edited by RD Laloche to show what they may have looked like 160 years ago.                                           ....read about Paul Kane
