My Automobile Trips / Lillian E Maynard

File consists of one family album containing a black leather cover with gold embossing on the cover and 91 photographic prints of various sizes adhered to forty-nine black album pages. Lillian E. Maynard’s life, family, and friends are documented through portrait and landscape photographs as well as newspaper clippings. Members of the Maynard family are depicted including Lillian’s brother Richard James Maynard; Katie Adelaide and her sons Albert, Robert, and Jack Walker; and unidentified infants, babies, children and adults. Landscapes include views of Saanich (Saanich Inlet, Island Highway Saanich Road, Little Cadboro Bay), Oak Bay (McNeill Bay, Willows Beach), Elk Lake, Jordon River, Cameron Lake, Colwood, Courtney, Sooke (Inner Sooke Harbour “Saseenos”) and Mount Baker. The album features a small number of Victoria tourist views including Belmont House at the Parliament buildings, Dunsmuir Castle, Butchart Gardens, Victoria Harbour, and the C.P.R. docks (1927). Near the end of the album are three of Hannah and Richard Maynard’s photographs, including Richard's award-winning landscape view, "The Arm", and two of Hannah’s annual “Gems of British Columbia" composite photographs. The album concludes with a newspaper article "Carry a Camera It Pays, says Fair Motorist" from The Daily Colonist, April 1919. It contains news coverage of a car crash involving Lillian and Richard and features images of the crash, Lillian, and her Kodak camera. In the article, she is credited for documenting the incident and later using the photographic evidence in court.

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.
