Terry Ryan took up full-time residence as the Dorset
Co-operative’s art adviser in 1960. The first catalogued collection of Cape Dorset prints was made in 1959 and exhibited in the spring of 1960 at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Some of the early prints were based on small drawings and sketches made by the printmakers. The early drawings, such as the one seen here, show an impressive range of styles and individual solutions to working on a two-dimensional surface. Initially, more than 100 people tried their hand at drawing. (Jean Blodgett, In Cape Dorset We Do It This Way, McMichael Gallery, 1991)
