A great place to checkout early photographers in the Hamilton area.
Toronto. Over the years we have had many studios and photographers in Canada. It takes a lot of digging to unearth facts today like location of studio, kinds of photos, personal history, etc. Some large and well known studios like Notman and Karsh appear in numerous books.
Some like Notman even recorded details and numbered photos. The museum associated with McGill University in Montreal, the McCord Museum, has a large collection of Notman prints and a record of known numbers (plus other historic prints).
Do you collect photos? Ever wonder about the photographer? Try asking at your local archives or historical society. If your guy operated in the Hamilton area, The Flamborough history folk may have some information for you.
Our thanks to that good friend and fellow member, George Dunbar, for sharing this marvellous find with us.
