Description

Colour photograph of the mural "Canal Digging" by Brian Romagnoli, c. 1991.

Painted in 1988 by Brian Romagnoli of Lincoln, ON, at 176 King Street (formerly Conlin Engineering building), 28' X 31'.

The mural places the viewers back in 1824 and portrays the three elements of canal building; man, horsepower, and machine power.

The mural was removed when the building was renovated and the painting was replaced with balconies. The owner provided the Welland Museum with a piece from the mural to keep in its archives.

Picture of mural and information from the book "A Festival of Canadian Art: Welland's Giant Outdoor Murals" by Jerry Gibb.
