Sandham, Alfred - 1838-1910
"Alfred Sandham was born 19 November 1838 in Griffintown (Montreal). While still in his teens, he left Montreal for New York. Two years later he returned and began work with the Montreal Telegraph Company (soon absorbed by the Grand Trunk Railroad). In 1863 he began working with his father, a painting contractor, and his brother Frederick. … In the mid-1860s, Sandham joined a group of collectors to form the Numismatic Society of Montreal, and began what would become an extensive collection of medals and coins, as well as autographs, letters, engravings, drawings, and portraits relating to the history of Canada and the history of Montreal. In 1870, largely due to his efforts, the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Montreal came into being. He was the first editor (from 1872 to 1875) of the "Canadian Antiquarian and Numismatic Journal". He was also a contributor to the "American Journal of Numismatics" and a member of several learned societies in Canada and the United States. He wrote several books, booklets and monographs related to his research and collecting interests, including "Coins, Tokens, and Medals of the Dominion of Canada" (1869); "Ville-Marie, or Sketches of Montreal, past and present" (1870); "McGill College and its medals" (1872); a history of the Montreal YMCA (1873); and, "Montreal and its fortifications" (1874). In 1880, Sandham left Montreal for Toronto, where he flourished as a publisher of evangelical magazines. This success allowed him the time to concentrate on his research and collecting passions. Alfred Sandham died on Christmas Day, 1910 at the age of 72. His death came six months after that of his brother Henry Sandham, the well-known painter and illustrator."

SCHREIBER, Charlotte Mount Brook Morrell 1834-1922
Born Woodham Mortimer, Essex, England, 1834; Died Paignton, Devon, England, 1922
Charlotte Schreiber (née Charlotte Mount Brock Morrell), was one of four children, was artistically gifted, and was encouraged and supported by her father in her artistic endeavours. Her formal art education began in the early 1850s, consisting of attendance at Mr. Cary's School of Art, London, anatomy lessons from a former surgeon, and unofficial classical training from J.R. Herbert, RA (1810-1890). She was a painter of portraits, landscapes and genre scenes in oil and watercolour. Schreiber illustrated three books in England - Chaucer's "The Legende of the Knight of the Red Crosse," The First Book of Spenser's "Faerie Queene" (1871), and a posthumous publication of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "The Rhyme of the Duchess May" (1874). In 1875 at age forty-one, she married her cousin Weymouth Schreiber and moved to Toronto, Canada with him and his three children; she illustrated three children's books that were published in Toronto. She continued to paint in Canada and quickly became involved in, and played an important role in the Toronto art community. She was elected to the Ontario Society of Artists in 1876, was the first woman to teach at the newly formed Ontario College of Art in 1877, was appointed to the managing board in 1878 and ran the College with Lucius O'Brien and James Smith. She was elected a charter member of the Royal Canadian Academy in 1880 and remained the only female member of the RCA until the second woman, Marion Long, was elected in 1933. Schreiber exhibited her work at the annual exhibitions of the Ontarion Society of Artists and the Royal Canadian Academy, the Art Association of Montreal, the Canadian Women's Art Association, the Toronto Industrial Exhibitions, the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibitions, the Paris Salon (1890) and the World Columbian Exhibition in Chicago (1893). When her husband died in 1898, Schreiber returned to England where she lived in Paignton, Devon, and continued to paint and sell her work until she died in 1922.

Steacy , Ken.
KEN STEACY is a Canadian Air Force brat who decided at age eleven to become a professional comic book artist. He pursued this intent until the magic moment occurred in 1974 with the publication of Super Student, a two page strip that he wrote, penciled, inked and lettered. This holistic approach has been a hallmark of his work ever since, true to his belief that specialization is for insects, not artists.
He studied film and video as analogies to the sequential narrative at The Ontario College of Art and Design, but drove his profs crazy by turning in comic strips instead of film or video. They finally figured out what he was up to and awarded him a pile of scholarships, including the Lieutenant Governor's medal. Since then he has written and illustrated the exploits of practically every popular character you could name, including Astro Boy, Batman, Superman, Spider-man and X-Men. His four major works in print are: The Sacred & the Profane (co-authored by Dean Motter), Night and the Enemy (stories by Harlan Ellison), Megapowers (written by physicist Jack Weyland) and Tempus Fugitive (which he did all by himself).
Ken spent two intense years at SANCTUARY WOODS MULTIMEDIA creating, producing, directing and illustrating The Awesome Adventures of Victor Vector & Yondo, an edutainment CD-ROM series for kids. He later produced a three issue comic book mini-series chronicling the further adventures of VV&Y in print. He has worked for many years with LUCASFILM, producing stories and computer-rendered illustrations for Star Wars children's books, and has collaborated on numerous occasions with author Douglas Coupland.
A series of his paintings depicting the peacetime activities of navigators in the Canadian Armed Forces is part of the permanent collection of the National War Museum in Ottawa. CHRONICLE BOOKS has released Brightwork, a celebration of classic American car ornamentation which Ken wrote, designed and art directed. He recently produced all of the display artwork for the Space Place gallery at Edmonton's Telus World of Science, designed the sets and promotional material for a production of West Side Story, and painted a stack of Harry Potter trading cards.
Ken is very happily married to artist Joan Steacy and they have two terrific kids, Alex and Raymond. Together they have launched TOM McBOMB PRODUCTIONS INC. a content provider for digital video, on-demand books & periodicals, and other way-cool stuff. www.kenspublishing.com
