BCARS Photo # F6690

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY

| Photographic husband and wife

| covered the Pacific N orthwest —

n 1890, the Portland, Oregon
based West Shore magazine
sponsored a photographic com-

the amateur class. Entrants hailed

| from British Columbia, Washington

and Oregon. Seventy-five dollars, the

_ first prize in the professional class,

was awarded on September 27 to
Richard Maynard of Victoria for a

: ere landscape titled The Arm.

In describing this winning photo, the West
Shore wrote: “This is a superb photograph of
that most beautiful stretch of water winding
inland from the harbor of Victoria, upon
which the people of that city take a great deal
of pleasant recreation.”

The view was taken from the Gorge Bridge

_ looking west. In the centre rowing an Indian

dugout canoe with outriggers, was Fred
Adams who lived on the Gorge road. Ap-
parently this was his daily transportation to
and from his work downtown. Mr. Adams
was homeward bound, his house is clearly
visible in the centre background.
_ Craigflower Manor, home of the Mackenzie

_ family is also visible to the left of Adams’

house. On the right are the grounds of the
_ “Gorge Retreat” where recreational boaters,
_ and pienickers gathered during the summer.

The photograph is remarkable for its tech-

nical proficiency. It was s printed by Maynard

petition. There were 67 entries ©
_ in the professional contest and 44 in

as an oversize format measuring ap-
proximately 16 x 20 inches. Even at this size,
every detailis crisp. Both the foreground and
background are in sharp focus. The composi-
tion of The Arm shows a tranquil scene.

Placid waters reflect the overhanging trees
on the shore. Grey skies and smoky hills
complete the scene,

The scene is quite a contrast from the busy
present day with the Gorge Park on the left,
houses and streets constructed on the avail-
able land and a public walkway following the
shoreline along Gorge Road.

Richard Maynard and his wife Hannah ar-
rived in Victoria in 1862. They were both
photographers. Together they operated a
successful photography studio, adjacent to
their boot and shoe store. The Maynards
travelled extensively throughout the Pacific
Northwest, accumulating an extensive col-
lection of negatives. Richard concentrated on
landscape work while Hannah became well
respected as a portrait photographer. They
ran the family business for 50 years. Richard
Maynard died in 1907 and Hannah con-
tinued in business until 1912. Their son,
Albert Maynard succeeded them in the busi-
ness.

The B.C. Archives and Records Service has
the largest collection of Maynard images
comprising both original glass plate nega-
tives and prints. Researchers are welcome,
Monday to Friday 8:45 - 4:45 pm, 655 Bel-
leville Street, 387-1952.
