    3. Could someone tell me when people started using cameras for home use? Is there a way to date photos by the paper or style? Thanks, Kathy

    3. A first cousin was married to the town's studio photographer who took family portraits in the 1890s. He may have taken the family group lined up in 1895 and the family home in eastern Canada. Relative took his second picture in August 1898 and sent his brother a copy on a cardboard mount. A few snapshots were taken in 1909 after the father of a family moved west. Those are probably contact prints, not mounted. Don't know who owned the cameras. Grandparents had a camera before their 1913 honeymoon. Several young female relatives in different households owned cameras in the middle 1920s showing young people in the city, people and animals on the farm, country school students and neighbors. One of those was a young student's prize at a country fair. Elizabeth in Canada ----- Original Message ----- > Could someone tell me when people started using cameras for home use?
