- Notice biographique
- Henrietta Armstrong married Charles Constantine in 1872. As the wife of a Northwest Mounted Police officer, Constantine often moved throughout the 1890s and early 1910s around Canada's West, living in northern communities in Alberta and Saskatchewan. During these travels Constantine photographed the landscapes and also collected art produced by local First Nations peoples. In 1905 the Constantines were forced to move to California for health reasons. After the death of her husband in 1912, Henrietta Constantine moved back to Canada and lived in Kingston, Ontario for the rest of her life. Her photographs are held in private collections as well as the National Archives of Canada, and in 2011 an exhibition of her art collection, entitled "The Constantine Collection of Northern Indigenous Art," traveled to various museums and galleries in Ontario.
