[BCMA] Donation offer - drypoint engravings

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

*DONATION OFFER -- TWO DRYPOINT ENGRAVINGS*
I have two drypoint engravings that I would like to donate to an 
interested gallery or museum, preferably in B.C. , but possibly outside 
the province.  They were prepared by fine printer Wil Hudson, of works 
by artist William (Bill) Shoebotham, who both worked for many years in 
the province.  The larger of the two dry point engravings measures 
approximately 12 inches by 18.5 inches and depicts a building, trees, 
etc. , while the smaller one of a landscape scene is about 6 inches by 
10.5 inches. They are thin metal plates with thicker wood block placed 
behind, but not attached to the plates and are wrapped in brown paper 
with Wil Hudson's nameplate.  Digital photos of these are available on 
request.  I do not have any details about when or how they were created, 
or when they came into the possession of my father, the late Harold H. 
Johnston (1930-1985), a talented amateur photographer who lived in 
Burnaby from the 1950s.  I have been unable to contact Wil Hudson in 
recent years. I have already offered and had refusals on the engravings 
from  UBC Special Collections, where Wil's papers are housed, and from 
both the Vancouver and Burnaby Art Galleries.  If your institution is 
interested  in seeing these works, please contact me and I will send on 
photos.  I currently live in New Brunswick, but the items are with a 
family member in B.C. *Wendy Johnston,  email:
