Images of early British Columbia : landscape photography, 1858-1888

Schwartz, Joan Marsha January 1977 (has links)
With their cumbersome equipment and refractory technology, professional photographers recorded pioneering development in British Columbia almost from the beginning of white settlement. This study examines landscape photographs taken during the thirty year period between the beginning of the Fraser River gold rush and the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It comments on the nature and meaning of the photographs and suggests their relevance to an understanding of land and life in early British Columbia. Photography in early British Columbia was almost exclusively the work of professionals whose success rested upon their sensitivity to the market. For this reason, their work is to some extent a mirror of early British Columbians' sense of themselves in a new place. Nineteenth century landscape photographers focused on the wagon road and later the railroad, on gold mining and on settlement. The early forest industry attracted far less attention than the gold rush and though fishing and farming had begun, they were seldom photographed. Picnics, regattas and other leisure activities were recorded, particular in Victoria and New Westminster and more frequently in the 1880's. Spectacular physical landscapes dominate the photographic record of wilderness; microscale nature studies are singularly absent. The attention to extreme symbols of progress in the photographic record of early British Columbia is understandable. The recency and rapidity of development had made material advance a common and concrete reality, and British Columbians wanted a record of their achievement. Some colonials brought with them conservative ideas of home and society based upon British traditions and Victorian taste. Photographs of elegant surroundings and genteel pastimes confirmed that they had created a civilized society and an ordered landscape in an isolated corner of Empire. In the wider context, the photographic record of early British Columbia shares elements with other areas of frontier development and British colonization. However, it exhibits a distinctiveness which is attributable as much to the mix of landscape images in the British Columbia setting as to the images themselves. / Arts, Faculty of / Geography, Department of / Graduate

Reducing these loose papers into this order : a bibliographical sociology of the Principall Navigations (1589)

Diamond, Katherine January 2012 (has links)
This thesis takes the first edition of Principall Navigations, Voiages and Discoveries of the English Nation (1589) as its focus. A significant, sixteenth-century printed text and Richard Hakluyt’s major work, it is familiar to scholars of the period. Its rich archival source has aided understanding of early modern geography, English discovery and cultural encounters. It has also been evaluated in relation to Hakluyt’s substantial contribution to the burgeoning literature of vernacular prose and to imperial expansionism. My thesis conceives a social history of the production, transmission and reception of Principall Navigations from bibliographical analysis, an investigative method that has remained largely untapped. In each chapter, I incorporate information drawn from the material text into an appreciation of historical practice and relocate Principall Navigations more precisely in its socio-historical moment. This engages with and, in some cases, destabilizes current critical positions. In the first chapter, I explore the importance of Hakluyt’s patrons. Francis Walsingham’s essential role is recorded through his connection with the various interdependent networks of people involved in the book’s production and Hakluyt’s description of his ‘prescribed limites’. This chapter re-evaluates authorial subjectivity. In chapter two, Walsingham’s authority over the Queen’s printing house generally and the production of Principall Navigations particularly is traced through the examination of the Stationers’ Company archive and the evolution of the office of the royal printer. This chapter contends that Walsingham commanded the production of Principall Navigations. Chapter three represents a bibliographical study which integrates the production of Principall Navigations into the Queen’s printers’ general work patterns and investigates textual variants and paper-stocks. The date of the interpolation of the Drake leaves is posited with reference to the debate concerning their suppression. The final chapter explores the relationship between early modern readers and empirical records, through historical reading practice, and concludes by evaluating the location of discursive authority.
