Custodial history
Thoreau Macdonald, son of Group of Seven Artist and Vaughan resident J.E.H. MacDonald, was an artist and book designer, working predominantly for Ryerson Press in Toronto until his retirement in 1960. Born in 1901, Thoreau possessed his father's love of Canada's natural beauty, this sentiment finding expression in work ranging from oil paintings, watercolours, black and white sketches to sculpture. He died in his father's house in Thornhill (the historic J.E.H. MacDonald House) in 1989.
Scope and content
Fonds consists of 29 book plates, 100 black and white photographs (including images of Yonge St, Arnold Ave, Elizabeth St, Centre St, Bathurst St, Hwy 7 and Seager farm and other agricultural scenes in Thornhill) 41 sketches done in pencil, and several write-ups on Thoreau Macdonald.
