Cover of issue 51-1 of Photographic Canadiana
Toronto. … an email box near you! David and Louise have produced a gorgeous cover and great articles in issue 51-1 of our journal. And yes, the ’51’ means we have been publishing for just over a half century! While the basic format can be attributed to late editors Ev Roseborough and Bob Lansdale, the choice of colour and cover photograph are very much the ideas of David and Louise.
This edition contains two main articles, first by Dr David Kenny on “Mail Order Photography in Canada (1898-1920)” which prompted the iconic cover image. And the second by Jeff Ward on Halifax born Aviator Ms Edith Keating. Another page is devoted to congratulations for Toronto photographer and author Vincenzo Pietropaolo on being appointed to the Order of Canada. Vince is a PHSC member and occasional speaker.
Just a reminder, courtesy of the late Robert Wilson, we have an Eaton’s Photography catalogue c1910 available here as a free pdf.
