As imaging technology and techniques advanced, photographers became more creative and daring. This is a promotional image for the 1923 International Skating Championships which were held in Saint John. Across the top of this image reads "International Skating Championship's St John, N.B. 1923". This particular copy is autographed "Sincerely, Miss Canada W. C. I. B." - for Miss Winnifred C. I. Blair, who happened to be from the port city. To either side of her appear Willie Logan and Charles Gorman. Both the text across the top of the image and the three individuals below were added, in a collage-like fashion, to the background image, a technique which is often seen in this type of sports photographs from the 1920s and 30s.

In lieu of any other documentary evidence, portraits can physically connect an athlete or team with a specific award long after the event has faded from living memory. Many professional photographs from the first half of the 20th century printed the name and position of each team member, the date, event and sponsoring organization or club in the center of the image or along the bottom of the mat. The photograph is in itself a "trophy" which has the details of an event etched into its surface. In this photograph, we are able to see that the Moncton Hawks team won the Allan Cup in 1933 and we can even see the trophy.

Professionally photographed images, such as this one of Andrew "Zan" Miller standing proudly alongside his dozens of trophies and medals, give the viewer a sense of the enormity of an athlete's accomplishments over a lifetime.
