Max Jacquiard - CPR Piers Vancouver

A summer evening view of Burrard Inlet and the North Shore mountains
sometime prior to 1938 - Pier D was destroyed by fire in July of that year.
Pier A, partially visible on the left, was constructed in 1908, followed by the
larger Pier D (1914) an Pier B & C in 1927. The ochre-funneled white liner
at Pier B is Canadian Pacific's "Empress of Japan", at 26,000 tons, is the
largest passenger carrier in regular service on the Pacific at the time. The
"Niagara" at Pier C belonged to the Canadian Australasian Line in which CP
had a half interest. At Pier D is the "Princess Kathleen" of the company's
Coastal fleet. In the foreground is some railway activity in 'N' yard, including
a passenger train pulling alongside one of the covered station platforms
under the overpass from Cordova Street. The station, fronting on Cordova,
is out of the picture to the right of the neon sign.

Max Jacquiard has a sizeable research library of printed materials, photos and slides
of steam trains and the places they would have operated. It is that attention
to precise and accurate details that can be seen in his paintings. The sensitivity
to his subject and quiet passion that is infused into each work seem to allow
Max Jaquiard to breath life into the canvases. The images he creates have
captured the imaginations of steam buffs across Canada and the United
States. His paintings grace the walls in homes across North America.
