An album of prehistoric Canadian art / by Harlan I. Smith. : M183-6/37-1923E-PDF
"Motives for Canadian manufactures are now urgently needed by the many industries that are obliged to use designs and trade-marks in producing manufactured articles. In some cases the conditions brought about by the war have cut off the sole supply of industrial designs. The designs for many industries, such as the textile trades, were almost wholly of foreign origin. Consequently, Canada relied on foreigners for them and the war having exhausted the energies of many of the European designers, the supply has been inadequate. New designs are constantly required and manufacturers have been compelled to turn to other sources for them. American designers as a result realize, more than ever before, the wealth of motives for designs to be found in North American museums among the prehistoric and historic collections of the handiwork of the peoples of various countries. Prehistoric Canadian art has been so little applied to modern commercial uses that almost all of it is new to the trades and useful to commercial artists"--Introduction.
