Biographical history
A British artist, Alica Davies (nee Somerscales) lived in British Columbia for some years in the 1930s. Her attempt to establish a private school in central B.C. failed. Lumbering and crop-picking sustained Davies and her husband while they remained in Canada. Davies returned to England in the 1940s to pursue her career.
Custodial history
Scope and content
The fonds consists of three certificates of graduation from the University of London Slade School of Fine Arts, a photograph (1905) of Davies in her childhood and a manuscript notebook written in the 1930s filled with observations about wildlife in British Columbia.
