thats one of the most unusual "mount robson" depictions ive seen! here is the closest analog from my collection of mt robson postcards and other representations. strikingly similar foreground, but got the peaks and striated face right. artist name appears to be ??? russell. #bchist #cdnhist

Yes, this is George Horne Russell, painted for the GTP around 1909, for one of the company's offices in the UK. Given the foreground, I wonder if de Rinzy copied from Russell rather than painting on site, but missed key details of the mountain?
