A November 1949 article in The Gazette discusses that year’s R.C.A. Exhibition within which this artwork was included (”Royal Canadian Academy Opens its 70th Annual Exhibition Here”), noting the show is “sound in selection and varied its subject matter” and that the exhibition “...which opened last night in the galleries of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is one of the most comprehensive and interesting in recent years.”
The article later lists a selection of artwork featured in the exhibition, pointing to this canvas as “...a powerful painting of massive rocks, landing stage and fishing craft, called ‘True Lover’s Leap, Newfoundland’”.
A print of this artwork was produced, titled on the matting which was included with the reproduction.
