A Camera on the Banks: Frederick William Wallace and the Fishermen of Nova Scotia
M. Brook Taylor

Between 1911 and 1917, Frederick William Wallace made seven voyages to the Grand Banks off Nova Scotia on wooden fishing schooners. Taking along a simple box camera, the young Montreal journalist photographed the sailing ships, the men, and their heroic work, recording a century-old way of life at the moment of its passing. A Camera on the Banks tells this story in more than a hundred of Wallace’s beautiful and thrilling photographs. On his voyages, Wallace was no tourist; he laboured alongside the fishermen, and they took his picture just as he took theirs. This respect for his subjects continued throughout his career.
