J. E. H. MacDonald: Designer

The design work of Group of Seven painter J.E.H. MacDonald was not only central to his artistic development but also deeply intertwined with Toronto’s graphic design industry from the 1890s to the 1930s – the golden age of book and magazine illustration. This book explores MacDonald’s contributions to fine printing, book design, and commercial art, highlighting the significant role of graphic design as a formative influence in Canadian visual culture.
