To do this, our photographs are individually hand-crafted to the highest standard in the photographic industry. Each print is bonded to solid surface, signed, laminated, and textured to ensure permanency. Our gallery frames are of the best quality wood, the liner is made from a single piece of imported linen, which adds depth and design to the finished product. Unframed prints are edged with black tape and may be hung as is. Each print comes with a polished brass plaque.

Some photographs in this gallery are of a limited edition series. Each limited edition print is numbered and covered by a copyright. A Certificate of Authenticity, signed by Maurice Crosby is provided.

The legacy he bequeathed to his native Nova Scotia is a magnificient collection of photographs, unequalled in quality and variety. Some bear the unforgettable quietude of a bay or inlet along Nova Scotia's rocky coast; others mark the majesty of the sea or the land in which he lived. And then there are those glorious prints made during the reign of Canada's immortal schooner "Bluenose" and her valiant (and unsuccessful) competitors.

One of his photographs of the Bluenose became the subject of a commerative postage stamp issued in 1929, and in 1937 another was used on the Canadian ten cent piece, where it still appears to this day.

Enjoy the beauty of Nova Scotia. Plan a One Day Excursion into the wilderness or seaside. Paddle a quiet river, follow a trail in search of wild flowers, or photograph waves crashing on rocks in a secluded cove. View the Gallery for a sample of the photographic opportunities available to the traveller who wants to get off the beaten track.

Plan an Overnight Wilderness Adventure: Take your camera to a truly far off place, experience the "backcountry" of Kejimkujik National Park, canoe some of the many lakes and rivers, or hike deep into the Nova Scotia forest in search of the elusive moose. You decide the degree of difficulty.

Traditional Scottish strathpeys, toe-tapping Acadian jigs, inspirational gospel hymns, or blistering Celtic rock--our music expresses who we are. It's seen us through hard times (in 1956, men trapped in the Springhill mine for eight days without food or water survived on "songs and hope instead") and it's helped us celebrate the good times. Nova Scotians have always loved their music, and now, it seems, so does the world.
