Colony farm. A remarkable souvenir photo album depicting the Progressive Era movement towards treating mental health patients through occupational therapy working the large newly opened Colony Farm on 1000 acres next to the Essondale Provincial Hospital for the Insane later Riverview Hospital.

191259399Vancouver Coquitlam Sumiqwuelu B.C.: Essondale Hospital for the Mind Colony Farm W.J. Moore Photographer 1912. Oblong 8vo. 7.5 x 5.75 in. 50 leaves unnumbered. on thick black paper stock. Printed mounted title in gilt & black on black with 49 silver gelatin photographs sized 4 x 6 in. mounted each leaf w/ printed text below in gilt on gray slips. Contemporary flexible textured calf Heinn Co. binding minor rubbing shelfwear still an excellent exemplar. This exceptional souvenir photo album visually documents the efforts of the British Columbia government to relieve the overcrowding at the Provincial Hospital for the Insane in New Westminster in the first decade of the 20th Century. In 1904 after appropriating 1000 acres of the traditional lands of the Kwiketlem First Nation peoples Dr. Charles Doherty focused on clearing over 180 hecatres of the flood plain constructing dikes building state-of-the-art farm buildings to provide purpose therapeutic occupational training and food for the new hospital which would later become Riverview. The Progressive Era movement to reform treatment of the mentally ill was to not only free them from deplorable asylum conditions which reformers such as Julia Lathrop Adolf Meyer and Eleanor Clark Slagle believed only increased otherwise curable mental illnesses but also provide training to gain employment upon discharge from the hospital. Doherty insisted on paying the patients a small salary to work and live at the farm and the Holstein herd which began with 22 cows in 1910 grew swiftly after importing 50 more from New York and Carnation Farms of Seattle so that that by the end of 1912 the farm was producing nearly 50000 gallons of milk with prize cows capturing top prizes at local farm exhibitions. The photographs open with shot of the gate to Colony Farm cottages and dining halls for patients barns and milking stations stables hay barn water tower silos corrals pumping station and dairy facilities. In addition there are several photos showing land clearing burgeoning silage corn fields nurseries horse-drawn seeding cutting hay oats and steam threshing.The final photo shows the initial reinforced concrete Essondale Hospital with red brick facades in the final stages of construction and would open later in 1913. One of the photos includes an office calendar dated November 1912 while two others show the visit of Prince Arthur Duke of Connaught 1850-1942 the first Governor General of Canada to be a member of the British Royal Family and his wife Princess Louise to the successful Colony Farm Sept. 11 1912. The Colony farm was expanded in 1918 by another 700 acres and would continue to thrive through World War II. Unfortunately in 1946 a series of arson fires destroyed most of the documents of the dairy operation and Colony Farm and eventually due to budgetary pressures the farm closed in 1983. The halcyon intentions of Manchester and Doherty would later be undone during the 20th Century as budgetary restraints prevented expansion or proper treatments so that by 1956 the Essondale Hospital was housing 4306 patients and 2200 staff members in buildings designed for 1800 patients. In addition medical practices of the time ranged from electroshock therapy and forced sterilization and would eventually be closed in 1992 as the de-institutionalization movement gained favor. Moore 1887-1963 launched his photographic career with Byron Harmon in Banff Alberta and by 1912 was established in Vancouver specializing in panoramic photographs after 1913 and later forming a partnership with Wilfred F. McConnell buying the Canadian Photo Co. He retired from the firm in 1953.

Report from the Committee Appointed to Inquire into the State and Condition of the Countries Adjoining to Hudson's Bay and of the Trade Carried On There In: Reports from committees of the House of Commons which have been printed by order of the House and are not inserted in the journals Vol. II

177623234London 1776. Hardcover. Near fine. Folio. Second edition of this important report first issued in 1749 and bound here as issued with 12 other committee reports first published between 1737 and 1765. Folio 486 pp with one folding map not related to the Hudson's Bay report in a later binding of quarter leather and marbled boards. Each report has its own title page but a title page for the full volume is lacking; otherwise a fine copy. According to ESTC N69513 four volumes of these committee reports were officially ordered to be printed on 28 June 1773 and were published in 1774-1776. They were reprinted along with 11 additional volumes and an index between 1803 and 1820. The 1803 reprint of this report is commonly found but this 1776 edition is scarce. See Peel 26 TPL 213. In 1749 the House of Commons appointed a committee of enquiry into the lands and trade of the Hudson's Bay Company HBC. It was undertaken as a result of a petition made by a group led by Irishman Arthur Dobbs who hoped to have the HBC''s trade monopoly revoked on the grounds that their policies had led to a loss of British control of the fur trade and that showed little interest in promoting expeditions in search of the Northwest Passage. The Report offers a history of the Company from its formation and includes the journal of Joseph La France a pioneer trader with the Indians inhabiting the region of the Great Lake who describes visits into French Canada the state of the fortresses there and French trade with the Indians. It also includes testimony given before the Committee by many witnesses including serveral people employed by the HBC as well as merchants engaged in trade in HBC territory. The Appendix includes the text of the HBC's charter a list of vessels sent by the HBC in search of a Northwest Passage tables of the HBC's annual sales and exports "A Journal of a Voyage and Journey undertaken by Henry Kelsey to discover and endeavour to bring to a Commerce the Naywatamee Poets an unidentified people who may have been the Hidatsa or Gros Ventre 1691" and much other interesting material. hardcover
