Studio Arthur Gendreau: Historic Photographs of Ste-Anne-de-la-Pocatiere (2/3) | Kamouraska, Qc

A few days ago reader Brian O’Hara shared some historic photographs of Ste-Anne-de-la-Pocatiere which had been taken by a relative of his – a M. Arthur Gendreau.  Today Brian is sharing a truly superb image of M. Gendreau himself,  standing  inside his photography studio with two young children (perhaps his own?).  It’s a fascinating glimpse into the interior of a ca.1925 photography studio.
