If you haven't heard of Lewis Benjamin Foote, you've almost certainly seen his work. That iconic photo from 1919 of a toppled streetcar? That was Lew. If you've seen old photos of North End slums or the construction of the Fort Garry Hotel, those were his too. For decades, Foote captured the public and private lives of Winnipeggers. In this episode, we talk about the less-than-roaring 20s seen through the eyes of L.B. Foote.
If you want to follow along with the photos we looked at during this episode, flip through the album on onegreathistory dot wordpress dot com! All photos are from the Foote Fonds at the Manitoba Archives.
