Description

This postcard is of a oxen bull train pulling three wagons and is a painting by John Innes (alternate speilling Innis) titled, "Troilene, Primitive Transportation in the West."  Innes patinted this work in 1910.

John Innes (b. 1863 – d. 1941) was a Canadian artist who painted in the frontier genre.  Popularly referred to in his homeland as the "Remington of the Canadian West," and "the dean of Canadian historical artists," John Innes is known for his paintings of Indians, cowboys, wildlife, and the early western pioneer days of Canada. 

Innes was born in 1863 in London, Ontario, and was educated in Ontario and England, where he excelled in design, drafting, and painting.  Upon returning to Canada, Innes headed west, blazing a trail ahead of the Canadian Pacific Railway.  His artistic ability and adventurous spirit enabled him to join a survey party as a survey artist in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, where he created maps and sketches with Ross, Mann and Holt.
