Historical Photography

Historical Photographs from the late 19^th and early 20^th century are available at the gallery.  At various times we have early works by Malek Karsh, Fred Armbrister, William Marsden, George Noble, Byron Harmon, and Fred Spalding as well as others, who explored the mountains with their cameras.  Like the paintings of many early artists, the works of these local as well as itinerant photographers served to promote greater travel in the Rocky Mountains.  Similarly, the photographs also express a fascination with the spectacular landscape found between Banff, Yoho, and Jasper National Parks.
