1893 portrait of child by Alfred Pittaway, Ottawa<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. In fact this is a picture from the Toronto Reference Library of a little girl photographed by Alfred Pittaway in 1893. Image collectors may have eclectic tastes, or focus on one aspect such as: Clarity, process, studio or subject. The subject can be famous, beautiful\/handsome, or homely.<\/p>\n

This pretty little girl graced the cover of our journal (issue 34-2) back in the fall of 2008 to highlight the lead article, “Photography in Ottawa”, written by member Thomas Ritchie.<\/p>\n

Editor Bob Lansdale introduces the article and portrait this way, “Our lead article deals with \u201cPhotography in Ottawa: The First Half-Century, 1850- 1900.\u201d In fact, author Thomas Ritchie has reached back a further five years to uncover who were the first itinerant photographers to hawk their daguerreian wares to the Bytown public.<\/p>\n

“Our cover photograph is a child study by Alfred G. Pittaway (1858-1930) whose studio was located at 58 Sparks Street. This photograph was used as a tip-in frontispiece in the Canadian Photographic Journal, Vol. 2, No. 1 of February 1893.”<\/p>\n
