Custodial history

Received by bequest from Carr to her literary executor and friend, Ira Dilworth. This photograph along with other photographs, sketchbooks, drawings, watercolours, textual materials and books was housed in Carr's old steamer trunk.
When Dilworth died he bequeathed this material to his two adopted daughters (and nieces), Phylis Inglis and Edna Parnall who divided the material between themselves.
This item is among the materials that came via descent from Carr to Edna Parnall.
The Parnall collection consists of Emily Carr art and papers presented to the British Columbia Archives in 1989.

Scope and content

Image shows Emily Carr alongside family and friends posed in front of a pergola alongside the Carr family tennis court.

General note

The Carr sisters created a grass tennis court where their father had previously grown vegetables. Emily and Clara sit in the centre, Edith kneels on the ground beside Clara, Alice in front of Edith, and Lizzie on far right.
Preliminary identification of the other members include Emily’s great friends Edna Green and her siblings, Maude Cridge, and possibly other Cridge family members. Three young men in white caps may be Paddon brothers, Mayo Paddon tentatively identified as on the left looking down at Emily Carr. If this is the case then the photograph must date from May or June 1899 prior to Carr's departure for England.

General note

Dated in part by the leg-o-mutton sleeves worn by the women and the window of time Carr was in Victoria after her time in San Francisco and before venturing to England.
See: City of Victoria Archives M01063 for image of same people on same day in different position.
