Clippings

"Among the smaller exhibits which are somethimes overlooked there is a very delightful and clever pen drawing by John Cameron Hutchison called the "Tan Bark Yard." There is a breadth of treatment combined with a delicacy of touch that convey the impression of actual color to black and white like some modern woodcuts."

      Vancouver Province, May 15 1923
