This document has been prepared to
announce the decision to produce a
formal painting of the Banting
homestead. As decided on the first
Sir Frederick Banting Day
celebration, in the Town of New
Tecumseth, on November 14, 1995, the
well-known Canadian artist David
Harrington has been commissioned to
create the first ever limited
edition painting of the farm. This
work of art will be used both to
celebrate the 75th anniversary of
the discovery of insulin, and to
raise the awareness that diabetes
has not yet been cured. The painting
will show the farm as it was around
1918 when Dr. Frederick Banting, by
then a hero of the Great War,
returned home and then started his
practice in London, Ontario. |
