The place to have a special formal photograph taken in Brockville during the 1860s, was the studio of at the corner of King St. & Victoria Ave. These two pictures were taken about the
same period. That is McIntyre’s new “ ” backdrop showing in the rear of any number ofphotographs taken in Brockville like these.

Perhaps more interesting is this group of youngsters who attended on Wall St.They all dressed up for this group shot and walked down to McIntyre’s studio. In the centre is
, the principal. He shows up in each picture here. My guess is that at least two of these young womenare teachers.
