190635279High Bluff Manitoba: Edwin C. Blair Photographer 1906. Photograph. Very good. Photograph. Approx. 9" x 7". Printed on the back of the photograph is the photographer statement "Scene or Subject blank This reproduction is the result of labours of Edwin C. Blair or one of his representatives for the quality of whose work he alone is responsible." A pencil inscription written on the back reads "Lill with best love from Harry W. J. In a rock cut on Grand Trunk Pacific Ry Vermilion Vermillion Bay Ontario." From the Manitoba Historical Society:<br /> <br /> Born at North River Nova Scotia on 12 September 1862 son of Robert Blair 1824-1889 and Jane Lynds 1823-1909 he moved to the United States in 1881 to work for a camera company founded by his brother Thomas H. Blair 1855-1919 and manage camera stores at New York Philadelphia and Chicago. On 5 September 1899 he married Edith Justina Bemis 1879-1930 at Northborough Massachusetts and they had a son although the marriage ultimately ended in divorce. He came to Manitoba around 1906 and worked as an itinerant photographer based at High Bluff taking photos along the railways of western Canada. In 1908 he opened a photographic studio at Wainwright Alberta but later returned to High Bluff. Known to suffer from mental illness and having served time in an insane asylum he was arrested at Grandview in the fall of 1917 and was charged according to a local newspaper account with “manufacturing photographs tending to corrupt public morals.†Six years earlier he had been sentenced to six months in jail for a similar offense at Dandarand Alberta. In November 1915 he was sentenced to nine months in jail for sending indecent photographs through the mail. He later moved to British Columbia where he died at New Westminster on 12 December 1945 and was buried in the Woodlands Memorial Garden. Edwin C. Blair, Photographer unknown

1847List2609Quebec City and Brockton Canada 1847. Four letters approximately sixteen total pages: four 8 x 12.5 inches twelve 8 x 10 inches and smaller. Two letters dated 1846 one 1847 missing final pages and one without date missing initial and final pages. Very good. Edmund John Senkler 1802–1872 was born in Norfolk England educated at Cambridge and in 1827 ordained as an Anglican minister. Senkler his wife Eleanor and their children immigrated to Canada in 1843 to live in Quebec City Canada East now the province of Quebec. They then moved to Sorel also known as William Henry and finally to Brockville near Kingston Canada West now Ontario.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a set of four letters from Senkler to his friend G. W. Chad back in Norfolk describing the activities of Senkler and his family as they settle into life in Canada. The Senklers had first moved to Quebec City but did not enjoy their time “in that pestiferous cloaca . over which the destroying angel seems evermore to hover with his drawn sword in his hand†May 8 1846. On planning to leave the Bishop of Montreal offers Senkler an unpaid position in “Coteau du Lac a lonely place 40 or 50 miles above Montreal†whose previous missionary had “been enjoying for many years a handsome salary†and was now “on his return to England.†Senkler turns down this meager offer and takes his family to Sorel.<br /> <br /> The move is providential as “Not fewer than 27 persons with whom we had some acquaintance have died there Quebec City since we left†September 10 1846. The family’s acquaintances apparently died in a theater fire in Quebec City—probably the St. Louise Theater—which seemed to have turned into a crowd crush:<br /> <br /> “I knew some of the sufferers: some were very pious people . What shocked the feelings of all who witnessed the scene with some of whom I have conversed was that the misery was so easily approachable and yet so utterly beyond relief. . In the case of poor Mr. Scott mentioned in all the papers particularly the Illustrated London News of July 18 where there is a view of the place his brother could not only see him but talk with him – caress him petting his face weeping over him while the poor suffering man commended his wife family to his care; and yet no force could drag out his limbs from the entangled mass of human beings. They did pull at him until they pulled the ball of his shoulder out of the socket and he begged to be allowed to die.â€<br /> <br /> By 1847 the family had sold their property in Sorel and moved west to Brockville in what is now Ontario. The family are noticing the effects of England’s Panic of 1847:<br /> <br /> “The great scarcity of money now felt in England will very shortly be felt here. The produce sent from hence home has not been paid for. Consequently our merchants must pay for the manufactures c. sent out by bills of exchange which must be in so much greater demand therefore fetch a higher premium.†December 8 1847<br /> <br /> And around the same time an epidemic of typhus breaks out in Canada from Irish immigrants fleeing the famine:<br /> <br /> “Probably you have learned from the papers what misery the unfortunate Irish emigrants have brought and are likely yet to bring to this country. They have spread a pestilence through the city of Montreal. Grosse Isle the quarantine station below Quebec has been crowded with fever patients to an alarming extent. . The emigrants as they recover are forwarded by the steam-boats from Grosse Isle to Montreal without touching at Quebec where they are received in miserable wooden sheds. Many suffer a relapse; others first shew symptoms of fever when there; and spread the infection though the town by begging. You can imagine what hotbeds of infection those steam-boats must be. Last week 3 passed Sorel without touching at the port one had 1000 emigrants on board the other two about 800 500 respectively. . These unhappy people are forwarded to their destination in the Western Country. For many of them doubtless that destination will be an untimely grave in a strange place.†No Date.<br /> <br /> Nonetheless the Senkler family happily settles in the town of Brockville with “an orchard garden with plenty of pasture for a couple of cows and horses with ground for growing all the vegetables required for the family†December 8 1847. The land is rapidly developing with land prices increasing and a telegraph line from Toronto to Quebec running through it – which to Senkler is “surprising in a country in which 60 years ago there was only an Indian’s hunting track for hundreds of miles.â€<br /> <br /> Overall the letters provide an intimate look at life for settlers in Canada in the middle period of its rule by the British. unknown
