Ball at the Windsor Hotel, Montréal, in Honour of the Marquis of Lorne [Montréal, Quebec]    1879

Photographic print, composite

Library and Archives Canada    C-001830    LL/46635

Curatorial description - Library and Archives Canada    [Accessed: February 2012]

This photograph is an impressive composite shot. It was created by posing individual ball attendees in the studio at different points in time and according to a predetermined plan. Each photograph was then carefully retouched and placed into the final arrangement according to the sitter's social rank, with the most prominent or honoured guests placed front and centre. Thus, while attending the ball had it perks, one's ability to influence the event's official photographer was arguably far more important.

Lucretia Mott in her 87th year 1879    1879

Carte de visite

Classic Photographics    LL/48710

Lucretia Coffin Mott (3rd January, 1793-11th November, 1880). Born into an American Quaker family in Nantucket, Lucretia Coffin and her husband James Mott were opponents of slavery and often sheltered runaway slaves in their home. They co-founded the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society and became deeply involved in abolition, social reform and women`s rights movements. She wrote Discourse on Woman in 1850, a book about restrictions on women in the US and when slavery was outlawed in 1865, she fought to give black Americans the vote. She died at the age of 87.

Provenance: From the collection of Mrs. G.W.Childs, the Wife of a wealthy American Philanthropist.
