Hays was renowned for his ambitious expansion initiatives that transformed the Canadian railway landscape, connecting remote regions and facilitating economic growth. The artwork, created on bright beige paper, features sweeping overdrawn lines and subtle colors, evoking a sense of movement and elegance that reflects Hays' dynamic spirit.
