This exhibition included 77 seriagraphs and serigraphic proofs produced for the Christmas card series. Twenty-six Canadian artists contributed to the series, among them several members of the Group of Seven who had already gained international recognition, including A.Y. Jackson, Lawren Harris, and Franklin Carmichael. It was A.Y. Jackson who encouraged William E. Coutts to issue the series. Jackson saw the production of the series as a source of revenue for some of the artists who were experiencing financial difficulties and also as an opportunity to create contemporary Canadian greeting cards. The "Painters of Canada" series began at the end of the 1920s and started an on-going tradition for Hallmark Cards Canada, the successor to the William E. Coutts Company. Unfortunately, the series that at first promised to be a great success was begun during the Depression and proved to be a financial failure. Nevertheless, the series was an artistic success. This exhibition was produced by the National Archives of Canada using many of the cards donated by Hallmark Cards Canada. 1, record 1, English, - Painters%20of%20Canada%20Series%3A%20Exhibition%20of%20Christmas%20Cards%201931
