Sally Elizabeth Wood (1857 – 1928) was a Canadian photographer living in Quebec.
Life[]
Wood was born in Brome township, then part of Brome County. She worked as an apprentice for photographer William Notman in Montreal and then returned to Brome County. There she worked in John A. Wheeler's photography studio in Knowlton. After Wheller retired in 1897, Wood opened her own studio in Knowlton. Around 1905, she produced a series of post cards depicting buildings in Knowlton and landscapes from Brome County which were published by Valentine & Sons.[1][2]
Her work is included in the collection of the McCord Museum.[1] She was one of the rare women working in photography during that period and was also exceptional in that she worked with glass plate negatives[3] and transported the required heavy equipment herself to various locations around the county.[2]
