I have a Marega plaster relief that I inherited from my father. What is the best way to find the value. It is in Vancouver and I am in San Diego.

I just discovered your site Eve. It is so interesting. The photos and stories are great.
It leaves me wanting more. I am a lucky owner of a small sculpture by Charles Magrea.
It was in a garden in Shaughnessy till I was given it in 1989. That is how I found your site
and I will continue to visit. Thank you.

Thanks again Eve for a very informative post. I recall reading somewhere that some numb-skulls back in the day criticized Mr. Marega’s magnificent Lions Gate Bridge sculptures for being too stylized!

Thank you Eve for such great history and please keep up the great writing. Do you know if 1170 Barclay or The Florida is on the Heritage Building list?

Great story,Eve!……My great – grandfather was Alvo von Albebensleben ‘s physician prior to 1914, and his flight from Vancouver as a German ” enemy alien”……The Main house, built in 1909, still sits on the Crofton House property, a low slung 2 story Craftsman house, still used as administration offices!
