Christmas Cards from the 1920s and 1930s by some of Canada’s most renowned artists. The first slide show shows the cards as enhanced to remove foxing and yellowing. The second slide show shows the cards as downloaded from the Library and Archives Canada.
The order of the cards is random. The individual cards are posted below the second slide show. To find out more about the individual artists go to the National Gallery of Canada which has a listing of artists in its collection.
