Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Schwartz, Herman Herbert, 1885-1962 : Herman Herbert Schwartz, designer, was born in Nova Scotia on May 13, 1885, of Dutch ancestry. He showed little interest in the family spice business, W.H. Schwartz & Sons, founded by his grandfather in Halifax in 1841. He was interested in art. In August 1909, he was hired as an apprentice by the American Bank Note Company (ABNC) of Ottawa. Schwartz was transferred to ABNC headquarters in New York City in 1917 to acquire more experience and to continue his studies. While there, between 1917 and 1920, he worked at the office during the day and attended classes at the National Academy of Design in the evening. He is credited with the design of 154 Canadian stamps issued between 1927 and 1956. He designed the famous Bluenose stamp issued in 1929. He also designed foreign postage stamps and Canadian bank notes. He retired in 1956 at 70 after a career of 47 years. Schwartz died in Ottawa on March 22, 1962.
