Burgoyne, St. George.  “Some Canadian illustrators.”  In Canadian Bookman,

            Jan. 1919, p. 21-25.  Illus.

  1. 21-2 -  “How valuable is the experience gained by a newspaper artist

                        who aspires to serious illustration can be gathered from the

                        personal opinion of Charles W. Jefferys, the leading illustrator

                        in Canada.  ‘I worked in New York for some years on the Art

                        Staff of The Herald in the palmy days of pen and ink drawing.

                        Though the work was exacting and strenuous, I count the

                        experience gained there as most valuable.  It gave me a knowledge

                        of life at first hand, a training in quick and accurate observation,

                        and in the graphic expression of life and character that I do not

                        think I could have got by any other way.’

  1. 22-3 -  long passage about CWJ’s career thus far, ending:  “Good

                        composition and clean vigorous virile line characterize his

                        pen and ink illustrations.”  See binder

  1. 25 -  “Illustration by  Chas. W. Jefferys, from ‘Old Man Savarin’

                        (C.W. Thompson)”  ??
