Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series comprises art material created by Naomi Jackson Groves, her father H.A.C. Jackson, and extended family members. Included in the records created by Naomi Jackson Groves are: early original greeting cards sent to family members; serigraph Christmas cards and commercially printed versions; etchings and drawings of architectural views in Denmark; landscape and rural sketches made during her travels in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s; figure studies done in various art classes in Montreal and in Copenhagen, including those of fellow classmates; classical studies of draperies and statuary; sketches of family members such as her sisters Constance and Geneva; Canadian and foreign landscape sketches created over several decades; and bookplate designs. Also included in her records are 11 sketchbooks which comprise primarily rough drawings made on trips to Europe, Western Canada and Greece.

Records created by H.A.C. Jackson reflect his interest in mycology, and, to a lesser degree, his graphic design work. Included are over fifty detailed drawings in pencil and in watercolour of mushrooms. Each work contains detailed notes on the size, the Latin species name, and the date and location of the find. Examples of his design work are evident in Christmas card designs and in some company brochure work.

Art material created by extended family members are to a large extent original and personal greeting cards for annual celebrations and humourous sketches.
