A Baptist convention in 1868 Toronto captured by R Carswell<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. The article “A Surprising Find!” not only expands on Carswell’s CdVs but discusses the meeting of Baptist clergy in Toronto in 1868 and Carswell’s group photo shown here. It is a collage of individual portraits.<\/p>\n

The article by editor Robert Lansdale, begins, “PHSC member Thomas Ritchie\u00a0brought to my attention two photographs\u00a0that were found inside an old picture\u00a0frame; the two aged images were mounted back-to-back on a single cardboard\u00a0sheet. A 9 1\/4 by 11 1\/2 inch print of a\u00a0building graces one side and would\u00a0appear to be the Bowman\u2019s Hotel according to a sign on an omnibus carriage\u00a0parked near the right edge and by a part\u00a0sign on the building.<\/p>\n

“Although there were\u00a0Bowman\u2019s hotels and taverns in early\u00a0Ontario this appears to be a British scene\u2026\u00a0the question awaits further research.<\/p>\n

“The more interesting photograph, a 7 1\/4 by 9 1\/2 inch print \u2013brown with age,\u00a0shows 57 portraits of Baptist Ministers\u00a0who, according to a caption, ‘attended the Convention in Toronto, October\u00a016\u201321, 1868’. Credit is given to ‘R.\u00a0Carswell, Photographer, 6 King Street\u00a0West, Toronto’.” …<\/p>\n
