Staples, Owen (1866-1949)

Staples is probably shown in his studio with his portrait of Herbert Austin Fricker. 'Who's Who in Canada', 1938-39, states (under Staples) ''Member, Mendelssohn Choir, 1894-1938 and on retirement presented Dr. H.A. Fricker, conductor of choir, with his portrait, which had hung in Art Gallery at C.N.E., 1938''.
