THE AUTHOR:
Pamela Jean Atwell (Great Aunt Jean) was born somewhere in and about the early 1900's in what was once called 'Merry old England'.
She attended public school and won a scholarship to the Hornsey School of Art. However, the war in 1939 interrupted her education as she was shipped out of London with her two younger brothers.
Upon her return to London, she attended the School of Art for a period of time and then was granted an apprenticeship with the renowned photographic firm of Thomas Fall, where she spent a considerable period of time as a retoucher of photgraphic plates. Thomas Fall was located at 22 Baker Street, London, right next to the now famous Sherlock Holmes, who resided at 22 A Baker Street. (I might add, to the best of my knowledge, they never met)
Leaving England in 1952, Jean arrived in Canada and lived for a number of years in the Parry Sound Region of Ontario. Eventually moving to the once small village of Maple, Ontario, she has since lived on a farm with her husband, Bill.
The author has spent the past 31 summers residing in the fishing village of Pleasant Bay on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, where she and Bill created Cape Breton's first all-seafood restaurant, called, 'The Black Whale'
Although Jean began as an oil painter and has held exhibits of her paintings both in Canada and the United States, she gradually became interested in replicating Art through the eye of a camera.
"Great Aunt Jean" (as she is now called) has held photographic art showings from time to time, however, this is her first effort in the reproduction of prints to book form.
