Note(s) : Scottish-born Alexander Henderson (1831-1913) arrived in Montreal in 1855 at the age
of twenty-four, eager to explore the Canadian wilderness. Photography, his observation
tool, would also reveal a remarkable artistic sensibility.0 Little known among the
general public, his work laid the foundations of the Canadian romantic landscape and
its themes: the magic of winter, the endless lure of the country's lakes and waterways,
the metaphysical awe inspired by the vastness of its land and its great river. But
Henderson also offered a colonial vision of the young North American city and documented
a number of Canada's major railway projects. This publication accompanies the first
exhibition devoted to Alexander Henderson's entire oeuvre and focusses on photographs
that highlight the tonalities, textures, and clarity characteristic of the prints
of the period. Texts explore Henderson's biography, the sources and forms of romanticism
evident in his landscapes, and the genesis of his work as a process of adaptation
to the New World in a context of British imperialism. 00Exhibition: McCord Museum,
