Custodial history

Scope and content

File consists of an empty photograph album and loose photographic prints. The prints were presumably removed from the album, however the captions in the album do not match with the content of the photographs. It is possible that the album was re-used to house the photographs described below or that there is no relation between the empty album and the photographic prints.

The majority of the photographs of views taken along the Canadian Pacific Railway, and include shots of hotels and scenery. There are also photographs of Victoria and various other settlements and nature views. Many photographs include captions printed onto the photograph, some of which also include an "R. Maynard" signature line. Not all photographs are identified. Photographs that have an identified date are from 1881, however the majority of the photographs are not dated. Most of the photographs do not include people, however Joe Maynard (file 6) and Hannah Maynard (files 66 and 67) are identified.
