ALT Paintings of Wild Roses by Annie Prat, Prat, Starr Family fonds, Nova Scotia Archives " The Prat, Starr family fonds documents the life of three sisters, Annie, Minnie and May Rosina. It follows their young life into adulthood and records their education in both Art and Bookbinding. Their careers took them far from home – Annie to the Chicago Institute of Art, and Minnie and May to New York City, where they opened the Primrose Bindery in the late 1890’s. Quite a feat for three young women from Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia! "
