"Irrigating Schedules for Early Potatoes in Southwestern Ontario" print (1966)

Department of Agriculture artists, photographers and designers are very rarely credited, which makes it all the more thrilling when I can detect the hand of the same person on multiple projects. Here, the floating, mirrored potato knocked out of a flat colour that's used as a very modern framing device seems a very strong echo of the 1962 Tuber Flea Beetle in British Columbia booklet cover. Both are stellar examples of what's possible in mid-century potato booklet layout.

The Canada Department of Agriculture wordmark on this cover has been replaced with the words ”National Farming Forum” due to Section 9 of the Canadian Trademarks Act.
