    How would I find out the value of a painting I want to purchase. It is called Valley of the Ten Peaks by AC Leighton. It is signed and framed and has Courtesy of Canadian Pacific Archives plaque. Same as ones shown above.

    Very interesting story. How many runs of these serigraphs did the CPR do? I have seen them in antique store.

      Hi Norma,

      Thank you for your comment and interest in our collections.

      Based on a quick search of our digitized collections, while it is uncertain about the runs of these serigraphs, we know that the Canadian Pacific Railway commissioned a series of serigraphs for display which were produced in small runs.

    Hello,

    We have moved into a home that had the Serigraph titled Lake Superior, Ontario Canadian Pacific, [1950?] in the Chung Collection (artist A. J. Casson). How can I determine the value of this item?

      That is very interesting! We don’t track values for items but you can determine the fair market value by finding similar items on auction websites. eBay is a good place to start but comparing values on other sites is helpful. Good luck and enjoy your vintage print!

    I just bought 3 of these but noticed someone had cut them to fit frames. Such a shame 🙁

    Do you have any information on the earlier CPR artists and paintings? John A. Fraser, JOhn Hammond, William Brymner, were some of the artists. Some of them were painting the western scenery for the CPR in the 1880s, I believe.
