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" |
