Christmas cards produced by the Coutts Company between 1926 and 1931 as serigraphs and as reproductive prints. The designs for the Christmas cards were commissioned from twenty-six Canadian artists, among them several members of the Group of Seven. The commission came about when A.Y. Jackson, one of the members of the Group, encouraged William E. Coutts, the company owner and a great supporter of the arts in Canada, to offer the commissions as a source of revenue for artists who were experiencing financial difficulties, as well as a means of increasing interest in contemporary Canadian art. The idea promised to be a great success, but the coming of the Depression caused the series of cards to be a financial failure, since the price ranged from $ 37.50 to $ 67.50 per hundred cards. It is estimated that only about twenty-five to fifty examples of each card were sold.

The twenty-six artists represented are: Frederick Banting, J. W. Beatty, F.H. Brigden, Franklin Carmichael, A.J. Casson, Charles Comfort, Rody Kenny Courtice, Fred Haines, J.S. Hallam, Lawren S. Harris, Frank Hennessey, Edwin Holgate, Yvonne McKague Housser, A.Y. Jackson, Frank Johnton, J.E.H. MacDonald, Thoreau MacDonald, Thomas Mitchell, Kathleen Moir Morris, Herbert S. Palmer, George Pepper, W.J. Phillips, Sarah Robertson, Albert H. Robinson, J.E. Sampson, and Anne Savage.

The subject of the cards included winter scenes of villages from the West Coast to the east, although mostly in Ontario and Quebec, including village scenes in the Laurentians, going to church, skiiing, sleighing, snowshoeing, wayside shrines, snowmen, etc., and one summer scene of canoeing.

The fonds also includes an original oil painting commissioned from Montreal artist Hal Ross Perrigard, entitled Peace, and done in 1945, which was also the subject of a card.

Works commissioned by the William E. Coutts Company from various artists in the 1920s and 1930s; Coutts was subsequently acquired by Hallmark Cards and became Coutts-Hallmark; acquired directly from the successor company Hallmark Cards Canada through donation and purchase in 1983 and 1985.

44 of the serigraphs and 3 reproductions of the original set of 26 cards were donated as part of an order book produced by Coutts in 1931. The original order book is 29.3 x 38.8 cm. Front cover has a mounted serigraph by A.Y. Jackson, Over the Hills, 1931, within an embossed silver frame and in inscribed in embossed silver letters: PAINTERS OF CANADA SERIES with the Coutts logo embossed in silver and brown: COUTTS/GREETING/CARDS/PAINTERS/OF CANADA/SERIES/MADE IN CANADA. It is decorated with serigraphed silver stars and side stripe. This unique order book is one of a few survivors of an unknown number of albums that were created by the Coutts Company for advertising the series. The album contains a sample of each card in the series; a short biography of each of the 26 contributing artists; the price per dozen, 25, 50, 75 and 100 cards, and a selection of greetings. The customer coud obtain a personalized Christmas card and the greeting of his or her choice from the order book.
