“Kodaking and being Kodaked”:
Lady Aberdeen’s 1891 photographs of Guisachan
with Art Historian Carolyn MacHardy
on Saturday, April 12th at 3pm
Description: In 1891 Lady Aberdeen took a series of Kodaks of her new property at Guisachan in what is now Kelowna. This presentation looks at a number of these photos and analyses them in terms of the Aberdeen family’s life at Guisachan. Most of these photos have never been seen before as they are kept in a family album.
