I would agree with AA and suspect that this is a "composite" photo, the 19th century version of photo-shopping. I've seen a photo of General Sheridan's staff during the Indian Wars period done in a similar fashion, with Sheridan's horse standing just a few feet from a cannon being fired! 
Regards,
Todd

Indeed Todd & AA. I can also cite a couple such 19th century compositions I've seen of Old West gunfighters and more than one (post) Ame. Civil War era picture

Nice photo. As usual, the well dressed gentlemen are standing.

Thanks, Robert. So the particular photo at the beginning of this thread is probably a composition, but that doesn't detract from its significance in 19C Montreal. Do you know whether it came from the Notman studio?

Humm, I just can't remember.
