| Historical note | Theodore Henry James Charmbury or T. H. J. as he was known, was an assistant to photographer Samuel Gray in Prince Albert for two years before starting his own studio there in 1902. He moved to Saskatoon in 1918, and was mainly a portrait photographer there until he retired in 1938. He photographed several Native leaders including Fine Day and Kahneepotaytayo. Two fires (1931, 1942) destroyed a huge portion of his negative collection. | |
