Snow-bound train in 1904 – photo taken by Harry Palmer
Toronto. Collectors of photographs are a friendly bunch. Photos tend to be grouped in sub categories like, snow, storm, trains, etc. The photo at left by Harry Palmer hits all three of these sub-categories.
It was selected as the cover photo for issue 15-3 which carries a couple of lengthy articles on both Harry and son John Palmer.
The snow-bound train photo is described by Ev as, “One of Harry Palmer’s 1904 snow blockade photographs from a whole-plate negative.”
Photographers Harry and son John appeared in an earlier post. Read the post to learn how to see the articles about them in issue 15-3. Photography collectors (cameras, photos, ephemera, etc.), you can visit our fall events to see if there are any items suitable for your collection! Our fall fair is up next (October 20th). A poster and details will go up closer to the event.
Note: I used the title of a 1945 song, sung here by Jo Stafford for this post (years ago I had a c1960s recording of this song by Ms Stafford).
