The Cloyne and District Historical Society (CDHS) owns and operates the Pioneer Museum and Archive on Highway #41 in the hamlet of Cloyne, Ontario, Canada. Since 1972, we've been recording and preserving the history of North Lennox & Addington and North Frontenac Counties. In 2022, Griffith and Matawatchan's areas were added to our catchment area. Our 3,300 sq.ft. museum now boasts archives, displays, books, photos, and literature. We also have a gift corner with detailed books about the area. The CDHS is an incorporated organization with charitable status. We operate primarily with volunteers and donations.

    The boy in the white shirt in the front row, second from the left sure looks like Terry Lessard to me.

    Ok, what is it about this snapshot that is distinct from so many others? Yes, the endearing vintage look is appealing as is the interesting unfolding of the ‘dance’ event. But it’s really just some guy sweeping up in a hardware store. —- that’s exactly right - it’s not a kissing couple on a foggy Parisian boulevard or a busy street corner in New York. You really don’t need a professional master photographer to create beauty. —— the hues are fabulous in this indoor flashbulb that exposure. The two gestures are so wonderfully choreographed. And most of all it’s the solid structure of the picture. Look at the harmonious diagonal lines created by his leg, broom stick, bar edge, her leg. And how everything fits into where it should be so casually. Nice photo

    Thank you for the kind comments! Mary Lloyd Johnson carried her camera everywhere, capturing local events and people. She has captured our local history like no other person.

No comments. Yet.

Do you know anything about what’s in these photos?
