I cut grass for her in the summer months at her family home. Her Father, Gustav Hahn, built the home and she lived there with her beloved cats. In later years I often wondered how many of the Group of Seven visited there. I wish I had asked her so many questions. I remember a room with piles of paintings on canvas, leaning up against the wall, and a studio where she had so many "tools of the trade" for sculpting, wood engraving etc. All neatly hanging and outlined on the wall, so nothing would go astray without her noticing.

After seeing this, and a recent trip to the Rockwell Kent museum in Plattsburg, I'm amazed again at the jem like quality that is possible in the small print...BeauWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141983454550236113.post-71729000316683102862013-04-02T15:03:03.278-04:002013-04-02T15:03:03.278-04:00Sounds like a great idea!

I purchased one several year ago, but it is a limited edition with original bookplates -- including the Banting ex-libris. All the plates, save one, are signed by LVS.<br /><br />Speaking of Frederick Banting, our Museum --the Colby-Curtis Museum in Stanstead, Qc -- holds a book collection that includes several of Banting's personal library, many with his signature, but no bookplates... I'll keep looking, just in case one comes up. But I do have some of Lady Banting's, who owned a family estate nearby in Rock Island, "Lee Farm".<br /><br />She was an early friend of our museum, and donated books, documents and artworks -- including paintings by Sir Frederick Banting. We also own portraits by Wilbur Aaron Reaser of both Henrietta Ball Banting and Sir Frederick, painted in the early 20's.<br /><br />By the way, I love your blog. I have a few Canadian medical booplates, including some from the early 19th century: looking forward to further postings on these on your blog. I can send you scans of mine, if you would like them.Pierre Rastoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445252294665001336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141983454550236113.post-6449334627474965602011-05-28T20:44:39.204-04:002011-05-28T20:44:39.204-04:00Robert Stacey published a small booklet titled &qu...Robert Stacey published a small booklet titled "Canadian Bookplates" in 1997.
