In a 1985 issue of Acadiensis, Graeme Wynn wrote that 50 years after his death in 1935, the famed Nova Scotia photographer, Amos Lawson Hardy, is “virtually unknown.”
Keddy said he scanned 250 photographs, which represented only a small portion of Hardy photographs in the society’s files. Kentville collector Louis Comeau has a number of Hardy pictures in his collection as well. He estimates 140 or so. I’m also aware of several privately held collections with a few of Hardy’s landscape shots.
Windsor photographer H. H. Reid owned the camera until 1946. W. A. McMurdo purchased the camera from Reid and used it in his Kentville studio until 1965. In turn, Dr. Lin Comeau purchased the camera from McMurdo and placed it in his private collection, which is maintained today by his son, Louis.
