This is the first time the artist has been given such a comprehensive exhibition. He specialised in watercolour, achieving rich deep colouring.
What is not generally known is that he became engaged to Mary Palliser of Comeragh House, County Waterford. She is represented in the exhibition by a splendid portrait on loan from the Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan.
Tragically Mary died of pneumonia in 1879 before she and Burton could be married.
