This 8×11 watercolor by George Elin is available for sale from Jon Berg Fine Arts, Santa Monica, CA, for $235. Although signed George Elin, Berg believes the artist was Felix Elin.
I am convinced that the artist was George Herbert Augustus Elin, one of the colony’s premier horsemen who is pictured several times in The Chetwynd Chronicles. Elin established one of the colony’s social clubs, the Forest Club, in 1883. By 1893 he had returned to London where he married and raised two children. Sometime before 1911 he moved to Vancouver, British Columbia.
