ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: Ib Antoni (b.1929 d.1973) famous worldwide as ‘The Great Dane’. He designed hundreds of iconic posters, and played a key role in creating the large-scale advertising to sell Denmark and ‘Wonderful Copenhagen’ during the post-war period. The campaign was a huge success, and tourists flocked to Copenhagen. From New York to Monte Carlo, Ib Antoni’s posters were on the streets of capital cities worldwide. Tragically, Antoni died at age 44 in a hotel fire, during the peak of his career. His artwork and posters can be found in major museum collection throughout Europe, and are enthusiastically sought after by MCM collectors.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: Goyce Kakegamic is a prominent Canadian painter, printmaker, educator and community leader. Kakegamic was born at the Sandy Lake Indian Reserve, Ontario. He began painting as a teenager, influenced by his Ojibwe brother-in-law Norval Morrisseau and Cree artist Carl Ray. Screenprinting would play a major part in Kakegamic’s career.

Goyce, and his brothers Joshim and Henry, established the Triple K Cooperative printing company in 1973, based in Red Lake, Ontario.

Triple K Cooperative existed for ten years and became the largest and most successful Indigenous economic development initiative in Northwestern Ontario. Many of the artists went on to have their work exhibited and acquired by prominent art galleries and museums both nationally and globally.

original 1913 FRENCH FASHION PRINT by 

Pair of scarce 18th century (published Dec. 1st 1790) mezzotint engravings. The original artworks were by William Redmore Bigg, and these prints were engraved by master engraver John Jones. // Note: These were always intended as a pair. I received one framed print, but when removing it from its frame to clean the glass, I discovered the second print behind the first. It was likely preserved there due to the water stain, and small tear (lower left), see images. Condition: the framed print is very good (with paper discolouration to be expected with age), condition of the second is noted above.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: William Redmore Bigg (b.1755 d.1828) specialized in genre scenes, often depicting children and acts of charity. This pair are two of his most famous, the first shows two boys leaving for boarding school, and the second shows the joyous greeting from their family on their return. Due to the popularity of W.R. Bigg&#39;s paintings, he could commission the best engravers to produce prints from his works.

ENGRAVER BIOGRAPHY: John Jones (b.1755 d.1797) was an 18th century British printmaker. John practised both mezzotint and stipple engraving styles. He exhibited with the Incorporated Society of Artists from 1775 to 1791. In 1790 he was appointed principal engraver to the Prince of Wales, and to the Duke of York.
