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

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.

Maynard, Hannah (Hatherly)

Musqueam encampment on Fraser River

Musqueam encampment on Fraser River

Item consists of a photograph of Musqueam camp on the bank of the Fraser River. Additional explanatory notes are included in the caption of this photograph in Dally album 5 (MS-3100.5): "Native woman examining a child's head (which moved) for native runners and immolating them when found between her teeth. Mosqueem [Musqueam] Indian encampment on the Fraser River. Queens Birthday Visitors 1865." The 1865 date appears in Dally's hand in the album caption, however it may be incorrect; Dally visited New Westminster in 1867.
