Notman Studio Portrait of Lillie Langtry of Boston in 1886\/7<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. In 1995, McClelland & Stewart<\/a>, Inc (then a famous Canadian Publishing House) published a Canadian edition of\u00a0“The World of William Notman”<\/a><\/em> written by Hall, Dodds and Triggs<\/a>. The lavish book had a history of the Notman<\/a> Studios and a beautifully printed collection of Notman photographs with exceptionally high resolution and deep blacks.<\/p>\n

The 230+ paged hard cover book carried a suggested list price of $100 with a 25% discount for the first months of publication. It was originally published in 1993 by the American publisher, David R Godine<\/a>, Publishing in Boston.<\/p>\n

I bought my copy as a remaindered book for the sum of $24.99 at Edwards Books<\/a> on Queen just before Spadina. The last named author, Stanley Triggs<\/a>, spoke at the PHSC decades ago. At the time, Stan was a curator of Notman photographs at McGill’s McCord<\/a> Museum. By 1995, he had authored two other books on Notman (Portrait of a Period<\/em> in 1967 and The Stamp of a Studio<\/em> in 1985).<\/p>\n

Anyone interested in Notman, Canadian history, or Photographic history should have, or at least read, this book.<\/p>\n
