content: Alexander Henderson (1831-1913) and William Notman (1826-1891) were Scottish photographers and colleagues in Montreal, Canada.  Notman was mostly a portrait photographer in his studio, William Notman & Son.  In the mid-1860s, Henderson also opened a studio in Montreal, but appears to have specialized in outdoor photography.  In 1860, the two men made a photographic expedition to Niagara Falls and helped found the Art Association of Montreal.
