History
Thomas Mower Martin (1838-1934), artist, writer, and educator, was born in 1838 in London, England to Edward H. Martin and Susan Abernethy. He and his wife Emma Nichols (1842-1911) immigrated to Canada in 1862 and eventually settled in Toronto, Ontario where he earned a living as a full-time painter in oils and watercolors. He travelled across Canada from the east to the west coasts and in the United States. He was a founding member of several art schools in Canada and was a member of the Railway Painters. In 1907 he produced a major book, Canada, with text by Wilfred Campbell. He also illustrated J. T. Bealby's book Canada published in 1909. Thomas Mower Martin continued to paint until a few months before his death in 1934 in Toronto, at the age of 95.
