Beavers, Canada

Beavers, Canada

Architects during the Art Deco period often incorporated local flora and fauna into the decoration of the buildings. Here's a collection of beavers from Toronto, Ottawa & Montreal.

  1. Sculpture alright, but very very low relief sculpture. Almost flattened. On the facade of buildings, I actually prefer low relief sculpture to sculpture in the round.

    1. I think I do too Helen and more to the point I think my personal preference might come from the carvings in ancient Egyptian temples & tombs.
