Through the Frosty Lens: William Notman and His Studio Props, 1861-1876
|
Abstract |
The Scottish-born William Notman (1826-1891) immigrated to Montreal in 1856 and opened his photographic studio that year. The studio was eventually taken over by his sons and remained in operation in the city until 1935. Notman was Canada's first internationally recognized photographer and renowned for his portraits, landscapes, cityscapes and composites photos. Using props, Notman designed his studio as a theatrical space where his Montreal clientele underwent a cultural experience that was simultaneously aspirational and accessible to a broad swath of the city's society.
