We wish we knew more about George Hamm of Didsbury, Alta., and his egg collection. This photo was found in The Canadian Mennonite files from the 1960s, but it was not published in the newspaper. His collection was later listed in the Royal Alberta Museum inventory. Even in this side view, we sense his pride and passion for these marvels of the natural world. We share his wonder and we wonder more about his story.
For more historical photos in the Mennonite Archival Image Database, see archives.mhsc.ca.
