| Notes | Thoreau MacDonald (1901-1989) was a Canadian illustrator, designer, and painter. MacDonald was the son of J.E.H. MacDonald, a member of the Group of Seven. As an illustrator, MacDonald worked for Ryerson Press and Canadian Forum Magazine. He served as the Forum editor for ten years. His work can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa ; Hart House, University of Toronto ; and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Kleinburg, Ontario. E. R. [Robert] Hunter is the author of the biographies J.E.H. MacDonald (Ryerson Press, 1940) and Thoreau MacDonald (Ryerson Press, 1942). Hunter's collection of research materials on J.E.H. MacDonald and Thoreau MacDonald were donated to the University of Toronto in three accessions: 1986, 1987, and 1992. The collection is kept at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library and includes draft and editorial correspondence, as well as correspondence between MacDonald and Hunter, including some illustrations.
