Canada in the Frame explores a photographic collection held at the British Library that offers a unique view of late-nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century Canada. The collection, which contains more than 4,500 images, taken between 1895 and 1923, covers a dynamic period in Canada’s national history and provides a variety of views of its landscapes, developing urban areas and peoples. Colonial Copyright Law was the driver by which these photographs were acquired; unmediated by curators, but rather by the eye of the photographer who created the image, they showcase a grassroots view of Canada during its early history as a confederation.
Canada in the Frame describes this little-known collection and includes over one hundred images from the collection. The author asks key questions about what it shows contemporary viewers of Canada and its photographic history, and about the peculiar view these photographs offer of a former part of the British Empire in a postcolonial age, viewed from the old "Heart of Empire." Case studies are included on subjects such as urban centers, railroads and migration, which analyze the complex ways in which photographers approached their subjects in the context of the relationship between Canada, the British Empire, and photography.
