He worked as an editor for several Canadian newspapers before becoming editor (and then managing director) of the B.C. Mining Record in 1896. His interest in photography probably began around this time, and in 1904 he contributed an article on "Pictorial Photography in B.C." to Photograms of the Year, which also published one of his platinum prints. The following year Mortimer-Lamb moved to Montreal to serve as secretary of the Canadian Mining Institute and editor of the Canadian Mining Review. In 1907 he participated in the important Photo-Club of Canada exhibition in Montreal and in 1910 was elected to membership in the Royal Photographic Society. Two years later one of his images aas reproduced in Alfred Stieglitz's prestigious journal, Camera Work (July 1912). Mortimer-Lamb's interest in photography continued until the mid to late 1940s, after which he turned to painting. --- measurements: state of the work: edition of the work: support materials: inscriptions: --- CURRENT EXHIBITIONS --- LEGACY EXHIBITIONS --- PROVENANCE --- fun fact: digital description: wall description: --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES
