Series consists of 517 photographs produced primarily by Hannah Maynard of Mrs. R. Maynard’s Photographic Gallery between 1874-1916. Other photographers are also identified on some negatives. Images depict individual, family, and group portraits, including babies, youth, young adults, and adults. Some backgrounds were kept simple while others include a range of often re-occurring scenic backgrounds and props. Several of the negatives were manipulated, with retouching visible on sitters' faces and hair. In rare instances, retouching was used to outline props or other studio accessories.

Series consists of 41 photographs produced by Hannah Maynard of Mrs. R. Maynard’s Photographic Gallery between 1880 and 1899. Images were examples of Maynard's advanced technical photographic skill in producing experimental works such as photocollages, composites, cut-and-paste montages, photosculptures (referred to by Maynard as “living statuaries” or “statuary from life”) and double- or multiple-exposure portraits. Photographs were produced as commercial products and to promote Maynard's photographic portfolio. Some of the composite photographs feature landscape views attributed to Richard Maynard.
