While keeping their sexual identities and attraction for each other hidden, they privately captured their relationship via photographs – one of the oldest surviving photographic records of a same-sex couple in the Maritimes. These remarkable archival images are as important socially and historically as they are unique in the photographic canon of eastern Canada.

The curators of this exhibition, Meredith J. Batt and Dusty Green, have also written a book featuring the photographs in the exhibition and will attend the launch to read from their book and sign copies.
