William Notman's Studio
The Canadian Picture
Description
The Canadian photographer William Notman and his empire of photographic studios, initiated in 1856, are the focus of this study by Stanley Triggs. Over a period of 78 years, more than 400,000 photographs were taken by the Montreal studio alone, and Triggs presents a fascinating and detailed picture of how this was achieved. Previous publications about Notman and his work are no longer in print, making William Notman's Studio a particularly valuable exposition of Canadian iconographic images.
