History / Biographical
The Mather family were boat house operators at Banff, Alberta, Canada. William Mather, 1868-1927, emigrated to Ontario from Scotland in 1880 and came west ca.1888 to work for the Eau Claire Lumber Company on the Spray River near Banff. He worked for Raymond M. Rooper's boat house business on the Bow River and, in 1899, purchased the business. The Mather business included steamer tours in the summer and also involved winter sports on the Bow River. William Mather and Margaret McRavey Mather had four children, Jennie, Leslie, Allan and Hazel. With William Mather's death in 1927, the family incorporated its interests as the Bow River Boat House Limited, with Allan Mather as manager. The operation expanded to Lake Minnewanka in 1939. After Allan Mather's death in 1951, the business was sold to Ed Mader

Description
A bridge stretches across the Peace River at the centre of the print. The Peace River runs from the centre left side of the print into the distance on the right side of it. From the bottom right corner a road runs into and then is lost on the close side of the river valley. The immediate foreground is a brown, grassy, shrubby area which gradually turns to green as it crosses the road and descends into the river valley. The opposite side of the river valley is mainly grey. The sky is a heather pink colour with a few tan coloured clouds in it.
