Reference: The Southam Building on the corner of 7th Ave and 1st Street SW in Calgary was built in 1913. It later became known as "The Herald Building" after its most prominent tenant, the Calgary Herald newspaper. It was an impressive structure ornamented with many grotesques. (A gargoyle is a decorated waterspout that projects from a roof and carries rainwater away from the walls of a building, protecting it from damage. A grotesque is a decorative carving that has no functional architectural purpose.) These grotesques were designed by Mark Villars Marshall and produced by Royal Doulton at their Lambeth Studio in 1912. The building was demolished in 1972 due to structural problems that could not be amended.

Reference: Danny Singer is a photographer living and working in Vancouver, BC. Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Singer began his career as a cameraman and director for the CBC. In 1970, he moved to Montréal, where he made the transition to still photography. Working out of the tradition of documentary photography and using contemporary photographic techniques, Singer records places found in Canada's western Prairie Provinces and presents them as grand panoramas. Often composed of up to 80 or 100 sequential images digitally conjoined into seamless panoramas, Singer’s photographic works are eloquent and celebratory expressions of western Canadian culture.

Reference: Snow was born in Vancouver in 1911, lived in England during WW1 and with the family returned to Olds, Alberta in 1919. He had successful career for over 43 years with the Royal Bank of Canada and served with the Royal Canadian Air Force in WWII. After the war he and Maxwell Bates began a fruitful friendship that invigorated the art scene in Calgary and supported the modernist period of art in Alberta. As self-taught printers they began making lithographs with two old machine presses they rescued from an alleyway and this medium came to define Snow's work, though he also worked in watercolour, oil, mixed media, concrete sculpture, textiles, and intaglio relief. In addition to his talent in the visual arts, Snow was an accomplished musician who helped create the New Works Calgary Society and he also organized the Calgary Film Society in the late 1940s. He was inducted as a member of the Alberta Order of Excellence in 1996. His residence and studio is now registered on the Canadian Register of Historic Places - see John Snow House. A comprehensive article was written on Snow in 2002 by Galleries West.
