Custodial history

Received by bequest from Carr to her literary executor and friend, Ira Dilworth. This sketchbook along with other 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

One diptych with captions. Carr has depicted in both as the centre figure alongside two women with whom she must try to get along. This probably dates from her time in England.

General note

Full captions:
When the world is middling fair; Sit upon a rocking chair; Hold your wool and cow-pins square; And knit
When the world gets one too much; And that one's a madam Dutch; Grasp the cow-pins in firm clutch; And hit!
