Photographic View Album by R. Maynard, Artist

Photographic View Album by R. Maynard, Artist

File consists of one album containing 62 albumen photographic prints mounted on 31 pages. Images depict landscape views that document the coast and interior of British Columbia, as well as Banff, Alberta. Each page contains a title and photographer’s name, but no date. Photographs were likely produced during photographic tours that Richard and Hannah Maynard conducted to document the construction of the transcontinental railway, including the Canadian Pacific Railway (C.P.R.) during the early-to-late 1880s. Images include views of railroad stations, bridge and trestle construction, pathways and routes, field portraits, and settlements including Songhees, Victoria, Esquimalt, Nanaimo, Vancouver, New Westminster, Kamloops, and Banff, Alberta. Landscape views include the Salmon, Harrison, Fraser, Thompson, Columbia, “Illcillewait” and Bow Rivers; Stoney Creek; Devil Lake Creek; Summit Lake; Eagle Pass; Syndicate Peak; “Mount Caroulle”; Kicking Horse Pass; Mount Stephen; Mount Castle; Mount Edith; the Cascade Mountains; Tunnel Mountain; Devil Lake Canon; and the Three Sisters. Several geographical formations such as “Lady Franklin Rock, Fraser River” are identified as well as a number of parks, including Harrison River Hot Springs and Hot Springs at the National Park (Banff). There is one image identified as the coal mining district of Anthracite, Banff. The Maynards commercially sold their C.P.R.-related photographic views to the public. They were available for order or purchase at Mrs. R. Maynard’s Photographic Gallery and other commercial operations in Victoria and elsewhere in BC.

The Victoria album

File consists of one album entitled "The Victoria Album". The album contains 36 black and white portraits featuring teens, young children, babies, three adult women (one of Hannah Maynard standing with a sculpture of a child), two adult men, a dog, dolls, and a group posed with a horse-led stagecoach. Several photographs have been hand coloured. The verso of some photographs can be viewed through openings in a preceding page and are printed with: "Mrs. R. Maynard, photographic artist and dealer in all kinds of photographic materials. Stereoscopic and large views of British Columbia and Vancouver Island for sale. Corner of Douglas and Johnson Sts., Victoria, B.C."

The album has an embossed, brown leather cover and metal (brass?) clasp. Page edges and embossed turn-ins are gilded. The inside cover page and intermittent additional pages within the album feature polychrome floral decoration. Several unused openings have also been decorated with hand-drawn, multi-coloured flowers.
