Madame Gagné was a photographer who worked between 1886 and 1891 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She and her husband, Édouard C. Gagné (also a photographer) had a total of three studios over time. At least one of her prints can be found at Montreal's McCord Museum.
Madame Gagné reportedly had a rapport with the new Chinese immigrants to Montreal, and often made portraits of them and their families. Since most photographers of the time catered to more well-to-do clients, this was an unusual custom.
Her photography studio was located at 211 Saint Laurent Boulevard, which is in the heart of today's Old Montreal.
