The
Saskatchewan Autochromes weren't the only images restored for the exhibit.
In addition to the Korcini autochromes, there were some earlier images,
photographer(s) unknown, and there were a few autochromes by Nelson, BC
photographer Fred Meeres and Thomas Gushel of Crowsnest Pass, Alberta.
Gushel's photos (in this instance) were most often originally in black
and white, and subsequently 'painted-in-colour'. When this was done is
not yet known, but the detail in colouring is spectacular to say the least.
Some other images in the exhibit were simply annotated with 'Campbell's
Studios, Nelson, BC'.
Some
of the more interesting black and white images from the exhibit were the
long panoramas hailing from the now-defunct Hughes Brothers Studio in
Trail, BC. These negatives were donated by Pat and Nona Archibald of Trail,
BC on Nov 26, 2003. We are grateful for these images which added immensely
to the exhibit, and can be viewed in this online gallery.

In this eight-foot panorama he points to himself as a boy of 6 years
old attending a Sobranie in Brilliant, BC in 1928.
