Title
Images de femmes: Les Québécoises photographes
Abstract
The author points out that the first known female photographer in Quebec was a Mrs. Fletcher. Little is known about her, other than what can be gleened from an advertisement she placed in the Montreal Transcript newspaper of September 11, 1841. Describing herself as a "photographer and teacher of the photographic arts", Mrs. Fletcher announced that she was "prepared to execute Daguerrotype Miniatures in a style unsurpassed by any American or European artist." Another Anglophone female photographer of the nineteenth century mentioned by the author is Ann Lambly of Montreal, who took over her late husband's photography business in 1847, and ran it until 1853. A third photographer of the nineteenth century is Sally Wood (1857-1928), who began her career working in the William Notman studio in Montreal before she moved to Brome County in the Eastern Townships in 1897 where she opened a portrait studio in Knowlton. .
