Canada

Taken from curatorial worksheet: The drawing on the cans comes from a painting at the Dominion & Grimm company. Since at least 1960, this painting has been the inspiration for the illustration used on cans sold by Dominion & Grimm up until today (2014). It is a popular can bought by maple syrup producers. The name Dominion &Grimm appears on the evaporator inside the sugar bush shack.

Function

Used to ship and store 8x 540 ml cans of maple syrup.

Technical

Taken from curatorial worksheet: Before this type of cans, maple syrup was contained in rectangular metal containers (gallon and half gallon) and cans with a different opening. Glass bottles were also used and are still used. In 2014, new pouches containers were put on the market to preserve and sell maple syrup.
