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.

Indigenous studio portraits of Mrs. R. Maynard’s Photographic Gallery

MS-3374
Series
[ca.1862-1890; predominant 1862-1872]

Part of Maynard family collection

The series consists of 76 predominantly studio portraits of Indigenous people in what is now known as British Columbia, taken between ca. 1862 to 1890. The majority of the photographs were taken by Hannah Maynard, however some are attributed to Frederick Dally and Carlo Gentile (perhaps others). Photographs were produced and marketed as commercial products popular during the 1860s and 1870s, such as 'cartes de visites', and, to a lesser extent, as personal portraits in the late 1880s. Maynard's studio produced conventional portraits as well as composite photographs which combined portraits with field photography landscapes. Indigenous communities and individual's names have been identified at the item level when known.
