Norval Morrisseau Prints in Bata Library

New Website Launching Soon

Have you seen the five Norval Morrisseau prints which adorn the main floor of Thomas J. Bata Library? They belong with a leather-bound and boxed limited edition of The Art of Norval Morrisseau by Lister Sinclair and Jack Pollock, Methuen, 1979 which was donated to Trent University by Elizabeth and Hugh Anson-Cartwright.

The edition includes five signed, original prints; these have been framed and hung in the Library to honour the distinguished career of University Archivist Emeritus Bernadine Dodge. Ms. Dodge and the Anson-Cartwrights have had a long association founded on their respective careers in archives and bookselling and these important works provide a stunning aesthetic enhancement to the Library.
