Clyde River has produced less than 100 images beginning with a few consecutive annual collections in the early 1980s and attempts at revival in the late 1990’s. In hindsight, it is sad that the Clyde River prints did not enjoy a greater reception in the Southern market as there were many excellent images which are virtually unknown to most collectors. This wonderful image depicts the myriad activities of traditional camp life in a way that seems both frenzied and harmonious.
