Requiem For the Old Derelicts

Description

This was drawn as a tribute to Bill Grant, one of the original members of the Toronto Derelict fan group of the late 40's and early 50's. He died in 1979, and the dealer who sold off Grant's collection commissioned this. I received much of Grant's fanzine collection as part of the payment.

The skyline is that of Toronto in the early 50's. the taller building illustrated is the Bank of Commerce Building, then the tallest structure in the entire British Commonwealth. (About 40 floors, I think.) The item at bottom right is a period mialbox, with the Canadian coat of arms.
