TRAIL Selmelter from East Trail KOOTENAYS British Columbia Canada 1930-50s Gowen Sutton Real Photo Postcard 29

Frank Gowen, 1878 to 1946, was born in the United Kingdom. He worked in Brandon, Manitoba, in 1907. By 1914 he was in Vancouver. Between 1914 and 1919 Frank Gowen photographed under his own name and in 1919 as the Frank Gowen Company which was superseded by the Gowen Sutton Company Ltd. in 1920.  As a publisher of real photo and printed postcards of the Canadian West, they produce cards depicting large cities and captured many hard to reach wilderness views. Many of their cards were hand tinted in a simple manner striving for style rather than realism, which created cards in vastly differing quality. While the real photo cards were made in Canada, their printed cards were made in England.
