In 1973, 30 sketches of various Kingston scenes by Montreal artist R. D. Wilson were presented to the City of Kingston by the Macdonald Tobacco Company as a Tercentenary gift. The sketches, called The Macdonald Lassie Tercentenary Collection, were made the previous year on commission by the Montreal-based Tobacco Company. The artist, who has travelled all of the world, lived in Kingston for a month to execute the pencil and charcoal views of the city.
The sketches were presented by Murray Mather, vice-president of Macdonalds, to Kingston Mayor George Speal.
