In 1905, Sinclair Brown arranged for Osborne Photo to take a photograph of his threshing crew, which is the photo seen here. Unfortunately, when the photo was donated to the Manitoba Agricultural Museum, no information accompanied the photo so we have no idea who the men seen in the photo are or where Sinclair Brown was operating. However, the Manitoba Historical Society lists A. Osborne as being a photographer in Boissevain. So it may well be Sinclair Brown was operating in the Boissevain area.
