A family captured on a cabinet card by a Perth photographer
Toronto. Later in the 1800s when CdV sales began to fall off, larger size cards were created (like larger smartphones today).
The cabinet card shown here was large enough to allow small groups to be easily seen. In this example, a Perth, Ontario photographer has captured a local family in their Sunday best clothes.
Our 2026 events allow lots of opportunity for additions to collections and to expand your knowledge of photo history. After all, the history is short – the wonderful art was first announced in 1839, less than two centuries ago!
Next is the Trunk Sale, our outdoors event, on July 12th on the grounds of the Legion Hall #101 where we hold our auctions. Note the new location for the Trunk Sale. Details will be posted here later this month. Meantime, contact Clint at fair@phsc.ca.
