Provenance |
Prints were part of a collection of old papers purchased by the donor at an auction sale at MacGregor Auctions in Orono, Ontario on Dec. 9, 2012 from the Gray Estate. The papers seem to relate to a notable artist/engraver, Fred H. Brigden. There is no apparent connection between the Gray Estate and Fred H. Brigden, although there was a father and son team working together as photo engravers in Toronto in 1911, and there was a Henry Brigden in Port Elgin who had a son Fred. |
