CHARLOTTETOWN 65 The names of the delegates attending the Conference appears on the ribbon margin. The crest given to Prince Edward Island in 1769 was three small trees under a large oak, with the inscription parva sub ingenti. Often, to-day, that crest is represented by one small tree under the oak. Presumably some one thinks of the crest as repre¬ senting one small Province under the Dominion, instead of three counties under England . On the table beneath the tablet is a replica of Nelson's statue in , London. This was presented to the Province by the British and Foreign Sailors' Society. The bust of copper, and the pillar of oak contain material from Nelson's ship, Victory. There is also a picture of the delegates to the Charlottetown Conference, taken in front of Government House . Under glass at the side is the formal invitation to the Quebec Conference. A copy of the famous Confederation picture, drawn by Robert Harris , hangs on a wall of the Confederation Room. To carry out the Dominion Government com¬ mission to paint the Quebec Conference twenty years after it took place, was no easy task. Robert Harris was given the commission in March, 1883. On May 17, 1884, he saw the picture safely in its frame in the Parliament Buildings at Ottawa. Photographs and tin-types were gathered from far and wide. Several of the Fathers posed for the group picture. The artist travelled all over the country to make a direct study of those Fathers who were still living. He also interviewed relatives of those who had died since the meeting. He obtained pictures, or saw all, except two. These he drew from memory.
