APPPQ Executive 1908-09 courtesy of Clint Hryhorijiw 2008
Toronto. In the spring of 2008, president Clint Hryhorijiw shared the photograph at left with our journal editor, Bob Lansdale. It became the cover illustration for issue 33-4 (Feb-April 2008). The photo shows the executive of the ‘Professional Photographers of Quebec 1908-09’.
Bob introduces this photograph with these words, “Our PHSC President Clint Hryhorijiw recounts on page 6 a misadventure when he acquired a large 30×36 inch framed compos- ite in Montreal and was in the stages of getting it home to Toronto.
“Here we show the detail of the crest for the fledgling Association of the Professional Photographers of the Province of Quebec (APPPQ) which was founded February 18, 1905.
“Research has yet to discover how long the association lasted. In 1951 another similar association was founded by another generation of photographers.”
