Photographs

This album includes delightful cartoons on each of its pages. Of particular note are two cartoons that represent photographers in the act of taking pictures, each one drawn in red at the centre of the page. One of these figures is a woman holding a handheld camera up to her face, while the other figure stands next to a camera mounted on a tripod. The cartoons offer an acknowledgement of the presence of a photographer on the other side of the camera's lens, though there is no reason to believe that the drawings are intended to accurately represent the photographers responsible for the album's pictures.

This album is part of the Prairie Ephemera Collection housed in Bruce Peel Special Collections.
