St. Andrews collection  
Fonds - 1889, [1911?]
P23

The majority of these photographs come from a book entitled, “St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada: A Photographic Souvenir, July 1889.” The photographer or photographers are unidentified.

It is probable that this book is the work of D. Will McKay (MacKay). McKay was certainly taking photographs in St. Andrews at the time (see Will McKay Fonds - P682). PANB holds a book of photogravures of St. Stephen which McKay published through the Albertype Co. (N.Y.) in 1896 (MC80/4025), and the N.B. Legislative Library holds a copy of his 1896 book of St. Andrews photogravures, also published by Albertype Co. (917.1533 M153). This confirms that D. Will McKay was in the business of making photographic souvenir books in the last decade of the nineteenth century. These two books were reproduced in half-tone, with some variation in page order, by Print’N Press Ltd., out of St. Stephen, N.B. sometime around 1980. PANB holds both reproductions (MC80/3074, MC80/3075).
