Alan Caswell Collier (1911-1990) was a major Ontario landscape artist of the twentieth century and, in the 1940s and 1950s, advanced his career through depictions of mines and miners, having himself worked underground in Northern Ontario during the Great Depression. His 1968 commissioned picture, Mining in Ontario, is now part of the art collection at the Macdonald Block, Queen’s Park. Collier’s voluminous papers are in the archives of Queen’s University and this paper is based on extensive research in this collection, a major source for scholars of Ontario’s art history. Mining was a leading industrial activity in the province in the twentieth century, and Collier was at the fore in representing its development artistically. He was at once an uncommon but ordinary Ontarian – uncommon in his talent but in many other respects an Anglo-Canadian everyman: he lived in relief camps and bunkhouses in the 1930s, served in uniform in the 1940s, and moved to Toronto suburbia in the 1950s. His mining art recalls an expansive boom period in the history of Ontario industry.
Alan Caswell Collier(1911-1990)是20世纪安大略省的一位重要景观艺术家,在20世纪40年代和50年代,他通过描绘矿山和矿工来推进自己的职业生涯,在大萧条期间,他自己曾在安大略省北部的地下工作。他1968年委托创作的画作《安大略省的采矿》现在是女王公园麦克唐纳街区艺术收藏的一部分。科利尔的大量论文保存在女王大学的档案馆中,本文基于对该收藏的广泛研究,该收藏是安大略省艺术史学者的主要来源。20世纪,采矿业是该省的一项主要工业活动,科利尔在艺术上代表了该省的发展。他同时也是一个不同寻常但普通的安大略人——他的天赋不同寻常,但在许多其他方面,他是一个英加普通人:20世纪30年代,他住在救济营和平房里,20世纪40年代,他穿着制服服役,20世纪50年代搬到多伦多郊区。他的采矿艺术让人回想起安大略工业史上一个繁荣的时期。

Around midnight on 3-4 June 1826, Gore clerk of the peace George Rolph was attacked by a mob, dragged from his home, threatened with bodily harm, and tarred and feathered. He was accused of adultery with a live-in servant. Since Rolph was the brother of reform advocate John Rolph, the attack and related legal proceedings drew international attention and the civil trial was packed “almost to suffocation.” This outrage remained in the public eye for over two years as Rolph brothers sought justice and as other outrages occurred. This article examines the social background and politics of the outrage and the subsequent legal challenges from the perspectives of the three original defendants in the trial. It argues that personal, non-political factors were more significant motivations than previously recognized. This is the first paper to examine the perspectives of the three defendants.

The career of Joseph Goodwin King (1844-1910), grain elevator operator at Port Hope and Port Arthur, Ontario, sheds light on many aspects of Canadian agricultural and economic history— the role of railway companies in the grain trade, the decline of Lake Ontario grain ports, the rise of Thunder Bay on Lake Superior as the major Canadian grain port for western Canada, as well as improvements in North American grain cleaning and drying methods, and grain elevator construction.
