Photographs of Mary Schaffer
Best known in the Canadian Rockies as a
buckskin-clad writer and explorer of Maligne Lake, Mary Schaffer was also
at home in the finery of Philadelphia. These newly discovered
portraits are among four 5 x 7 glass negative poses, part of the
extensive Vaux Family gift of archives and artifacts which includes
cameras and photographic accessories, ice axes, survey equipment and other
back-country tools.
