CWNA at the RCYC July 1935

Toronto<\/strong>. On July 26th, 1935, someone organized the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association down at the RCYC for this spectacular group shot on a sunny summer’s day. It was the Association’s 16th annual convention<\/a>. Three years later in August 1938 they held their 19th convention in Vancouver – also commemorated by a panorama photo, now held by the Vancouver Public Library<\/a> (VPL). The organization and the fad of taking panoramic shots of the entire group have long faded into history. The curve<\/em> is an artifact of the special cirkut camera used to record the group. Savvy photographers would position their subjects in a large semi circle to compensate and keep all subjects size proportional.<\/p>\n

The photograph was taken by The Panoramic Camera Co<\/a>. who were located at 289 Avenue Road here in Toronto.<\/p>\n

Thanks to George Dunbar who found this photo online at the Toronto Public library and alerted me \u00a0by email.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
