| Abstract |
The author examines nine photographs of wealthy English-speaking Montreal girls, taken in the photographic studio of William Notman between 1857 and 1891, as a pictorial record of the informal education of young females according to the beliefs and convictions of the upper middle-class. The author analyzes the photos in relation to the vision of how girls should be educated according to John Ruskin's "Of Queens' Gardens", published in 1864.
