An extract from the 'Canadian Hospital News'...

Photographic Department

"The Photographic Department of the Granville deserves a word or two in our columns. A great amount of very important work in the photographing of interesting and unusual cases for records and for illustrating lectures. Ordinary pictures, lantern slides, enlargements, reductions and reproductions of X-ray plates, in monochrome and colours, are being turned out in large quantities, and Private Sauvage (Le Sauvage), who is in charge of the department, is to be congratulated on the excellence of the results"
