In 1927, Emil Bronlund was hired by Consolidated Mining and Smelting Ltd. (later known as Cominco) to take on the company's mining exploration in northern British Columbia. Bronlund had a Leica camera and took photographs during his exploratory trips. The Emil Bronlund Photograph Collection consists of an album of Bronlund's photographic negatives from his 1930-1932 exploratory trips in the Omineca region. This feature photograph depicts Bronlund's and Frank Swannell's crews at Thutade Lake narrows in 1931 (2021.06.055).
