a portrait of two ladies photographed by William Dame at 339 1/2 Yonge St., Toronto, c1900
Toronto. I always enjoy emails from George Dunbar. George diligently researches photographic history and comes up with the darnedest things! This time it is a doozy for those of us who collect photos by long ago Ontario photographers.
George writes, “Plenty of images here [Search Ontario] for a pleasant exercise in browsing, such as this portrait made by William Dame at 339 1/2 Yonge St., Toronto, c1900.”
All you need to know is the photographer’s name and do a search. The web site at Search Ontario is linked to many Ontario archives and can quickly track down and show photos by the same person.
This saves you from searching each archive (given you even know the archive) trying to track down a source. Try it on your own selection of old Ontario photos …
