   John Harvey established a portrait studio in 1883 located at 372 Queen Street.   It was known as Harvey Studios.   At that time, photography as a consumer industry was just beginning (Eastman Kodak was founded in 1881), so   Harvey Studios was one of the oldest continuous picture-taking operation in Fredericton, in Canada, and in North America.   After the death of John Harvey in 1901, the business was owned and operated for 16 years by Martha Harvey.   In 1917, Mrs Harvey sold the studio to Frank Pridham.
