Paysages, rivières, ressources, géologie, peuples autochtones...tous ces sujets intéressaient le géologue-explorateur George M. Dawson (1849-1901) alors qu'il parcourait les prairies, les Rocheuses, la Colombie-Britannique, le Yukon et au-delà. Ces croquis proviennent de ses carnets personnels conservés aux Archives de l'Université McGill et de ses carnets de terrain conservés aux Archives nationales, datant de son travail à la Commission géologique du Canada, dont il fut directeur adjoint (à partir de 1883) puis directeur (de 1895 à 1901).

Élevé dans la haute société montréalaise de l'époque victorienne (son père, Sir William, était principal de McGill), il reçut une excellente éducation et, outre son travail de scientifique, excellait en dessin, en aquarelle et en photographie.
