Scope and content
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.
