"Edward John Hughes was born in North Vancouver in 1913 and attended the Vancouver School of Art for six years. This exhibition focuses on his lesser-known works of the interior of B.C.

The works in this exhibition date from 1931 to 1994 with the most being produced between 1956 and the present." - Foreword. 72 semi-glossy pages tastefully illustrated in colour with considerable text a chronology of Mr. Hughes and a list of works in the exhibition.
