Description

"Hannah Maynard...established her own Photographic Gallery in the colonial town of Victoria, British Columbia, in the early 1860s... [Her] photographs, however, are interesting for more than historical reasons. She experimented with every new photographic technique and was not only in the vanguard of experimentalism, but she developed a vision that was surreal and unique, unmatched in its aesthetic inerest until the 1920s... When her work is combined with that of her husband's, as it is in this book, the result is a rare record of a time, a place, and a unique vision, the vision of a Canadian genius"--from front jacket flap.
