Summary

Franklin Carmichael, Old Orchard, c. 1940, wood engraving on laid paper, 18.6 x 26.2 cm irregular (torn at b.), image: 15.1 x 20.1 cm

Franklin Carmichael’s (1890–1945) talent was evident at an early age – sufficiently so, that his mother enrolled him in both music and art lessons. As a teenager growing up in Orillia, Ontario, Carmichael worked in his father’s shop as a carriage striper. Working on the scrolled decorations of the carriages, he practiced his design, drawing and coloring skills. In 1911, his interest in art took him to Toronto, where he studied art at the Central Technical School and the Ontario College of Art.
