About
Why this artist matters now
Humphrey Lloyd Hime was an Irish-Canadian photographer, surveyor, businessman, and politician. He accompanied Henry Youle Hind on his 1858 Assiniboine and Saskatchewan Exploring Expedition, which was meant to assess the viability of settling Western Canada. After the expedition, Hime returned to Toronto and continued to work at the firm Armstrong, Beere and Hime, Civil Engineers Draughtsmen, and Photographists, and eventually held several municipal offices. The firm produced the Armstrong, Beere and Hime panorama in 1857, the earliest known photographs of Toronto.
