By the standards of the late 1930s, Lorene Squire’s photographs of wildfowl were among the best.
Her work appeared frequently in many magazines, including The Beaver (now called Canada’s History magazine).
It is likely the talented young American would have been better known had she not died in a tragic accident at the age of thirty-two.
Many of the photos she took on her journeys into northern Canada are held by the Hudson’s Bay Company Archives at the Archives of Manitoba.
