⌛ History Behind the Piece ⌛ Founded in the 19th century, W.J. Gage & Company Limited became one of Canada’s foremost educational publishers and stationery manufacturers. By the 1930s, their Winnipeg division produced exercise books for schools nationwide, often illustrated with wholesome domestic scenes that reflected interwar family ideals. The “A Happy Family” cover is representative of Gage’s signature blend of art and learning — where arithmetic, literacy, and moral imagery shared a single page.
