War Artists from the First World War


This November the Ontario Archives has chosen to highlight the work of

Third Canadian Stationary Hospital, France, 1918 (detail)After Gerald E. Moira

In particular the exhibit highlights those artists who contributed to the Canadian War Memorials Fund and whose artwork was eventually exhibited in 1919 at the first major exhibition to showcase images created during the First World War.
It includes some of the images created by a few of those war artists represented in the Archives collection and more specifically images that are part of the Canadian War Memorials Fund fonds (C 334).
