Born in 1919 in the Black community of Weymouth Falls, Nova Scotia, Harold Cromwell was a descendant of the Black Loyalists who settled in the area in 1783. He was also a prolific folk artist with an acute talent for observation. His meticulous, textured pen and ink illustrations -- drawn on everything from cupboard doors and scraps of paper to Royal Chinet paper plates -- capture his responses to the experience growing up in rural Nova Scotia. For over 50 years, he depicted scenes from his Depression-era childhood, everyday life in a rural community in early twentieth century Nova Scotia, and people at work - picking apples, digging clams, gathering wood, or farming.
