Toronto. The thing that separates us from all other species on this old ball of dirt is … learning. Humans learn from their ancestors and this learning allows us to extend knowledge, generation after generation.
We photographic collectors are very aware of this capability as we see how the art has improved over the years.
In issue 24-2 we have a book review by Stan White of two books researched, and written by Glen C. Phillips. The books list Ontario and Western Canada photographers early last century and the century before (Western Canada). The books are published by a small publishing house (Iron Gate Publishing) in London, Ontario (later in Sarnia).
The Internet Archive has the book, but reserves viewing for members. The books are often in local libraries as they are also useful for genealogical research. They are a jumping off point for image collectors and photo history fans wishing to extend their knowledge and understanding of the art or their collection.
