Helena Burroughs by Halsey and Sadd (?), 1840 – McCord Museum collection, Montreal, QC<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. The late Graham Garrett was our guest speaker at the 20th anniversary supper. One one hand he could be downright prickly to deal with but on the other hand, he was the epitome of \u00a0a photographic researcher: determined, thorough, fussy, and very, very detailed as shown by his CD of Canadian Daguerreotype photographers (1839 – 1841).<\/p>\n

Part one of his article titled, “Photography in <\/span>Canada 1839-1841 –\u00a0A <\/span>historical <\/span>and biographical outline” appears in issue 21-5.
