Edited by Michael Smith

The eagerly anticipated second edition of Roy Sennett’s groundbreaking handbook on the celebrated postcards of J. W. Bald has arrived — expanded, enhanced and more comprehensive than ever.

This new edition builds substantially on the original work, offering collectors and researchers an in-depth exploration of one of Canada’s most admired postcard photographers.

Highlights of the second edition include:

  • A significantly expanded account of J. W. Bald’s early years as an apprentice photographer in Barrie, Ontario, featuring rare images of his first studio locations in Penetanguishene and Midland.

  • A fascinating new section detailing Bald’s tools of the trade, including his Carbine postcard camera and Graber postcard printing machine.

  • Expanded and detailed maps of the Georgian Bay coastline and Severn River, pinpointing the many locations where Bald captured the majority of his iconic images.

  • Comprehensive listings and over 900 illustrated examples of some of the most sought-after postcards in Canada.

Lavishly illustrated throughout in full colour, this authoritative reference features:

  • 244 pages

  • 1,200+ postcard listings

  • 900+ illustrations

  • An extensively illustrated biography of J. W. Bald

  • 8.5 x 11 inches

  • Laminated soft cover

Meticulously researched and beautifully produced, this second edition is an essential resource for collectors of Canadian postcards and an important contribution to the study of early Canadian photography.
