Ottawa 200 Print by Lydia Uppington

Ottawa 200 is a limited edition linocut print of 6; this unframed print is 6/6. Size: 15"x20", 2026. Lydia drew and carved 20 unique blocks which she affixed to an illustration board to print together as one single printing block. It is the largest piece she has ever printed with hand pressure (using a wooden spoon) alone! Two hundred years of Ottawa’s history are depicted in twenty linocuts of iconic buildings; together, they capture a snapshot of the city’s architectural diversity. In order from top to bottom, left to right: the Bytown Museum, the Rochon residence, the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Library of Parliament, the old Ottawa Jail, the Cartier Square Drill Hall on Laurier, the East or West block of Parliament, Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne, the Museum of Nature, the Chateau Laurier, the Peace Tower, the Sir John A MacDonald Building, the Supreme Court, the John G Diefenbaker Building, the National Arts Centre, the Main Branch of the Ottawa Public Library, the National Gallery, Ottawa City Hall, the Canadian War Museum, and the Shaw/Rogers Centre.
