James Kewley Ward purchased the house in which he was born, which had fallen into disrepair. The old dwelling was pulled down and on the site, at Mr Ward's own expense, the Ward Library was built. It is believed that the painting was presented to Mr Ward in Canada in recognition of a long political career. It is thought it was shipped over after Mr Ward's death in 1910.
