Brigden, F.H.  “The Academy exhibition.”  In RAIC Journal, Jan. 1927, p.

p.19  -  [The founding of Halifax]

p. 19  -“C.W. Jefferys exhibited two of the originals for the series of historical

pictures, which are being published by Nelsons for use in the schools

throughout Canada.  The importance of the work of Mr. Jefferys is doing

in this and other historical illustrations cannot be overestimated.  Not only

do they rank high as works of art, strong in drawing, composition and

colour, but they are the result of long years of research and study , winning

for the artist recognition as an authority on many points connected with our

past history from the leading students and writers on Canadian history.

Has not the time come when Canada could afford to use the unusual

combination of artistic ability with historical knowledge possessed by this

Canadian painter and commission him to decorate some of our public

buildings with themes drawn from the dramatic and colourful incidents

of our past.”

  1. 26 - “…C. W. Jefferys gave added interest to the black and white section

            with a number of his pen and ink historical illustrations.”
