New Arrivals...

Found these images at one of our local establishments, Grace Brothers' Antiques.  Steve and Ron are always helpful.  I was fortunate enough to find 3 local images, shown here in chronological order:

From the collection of John Rochon 

The young couple above were captured at the studio of G.B. Robson of Petrolea (Petrolia), ON in the 1890's.

This large grouping was taken by W.A. Couse of Sarnia, ON somtime between 1910 and 1920.  Could it be a graduating class from the Sarnia Collegiate Institute?

This fashionable young flapper with her bobbed hair was captured at the studio of Hunter & Bury of Sarnia, ON in the 1920's.

The next photo is a bit of a mystery, as the place stamped on the card is "SOO", which I take as being either Sault Ste. Marie, ON or Sault Ste. Marie, MI - I'm not sure which one, but for the present I am presuming that it originated in Ontario.

This stylish young couple was captured at the Young studio in Sault Ste. Marie, ON (?)

This last (but not least!) photo is sadly by an unknown photographer, but it is so interesting that I had to have it.  To me, it seems to be a wedding party, probably in the early 1920's however, the decorations are very patriotic indeed!

Many thanks to Steve for patiently getting the 'flapper' photo for me from the display window - much appreciated!
