Portrait of Mary Ellen Crysler, albumen print (tinted)- original print is 45 x 36cm. William Notman & Son Studio, 1895<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. We have the Black Creek Pioneer Village here while similar attractions exist elsewhere in our province like the village near Morrisburg.<\/p>\n

So what has this to do with photography? Well, some works of photographer and studio owner, William Notman, (famous around Montreal and beyond) are housed in the Upper Canada Village (UCV). The UCV with its archives has some photographic items, like the one at left of Ms Crysler.<\/p>\n

In issue 21-4, Ev published an article by Jack Schecter titled, “Upper Canada Village Reference Library\u00a0and Archives Photograph Collection”.
