19277626Winnipeg Manitoba: Bauslaugh Photos 408 Main St. Winnipeg 1927. Original Photograph. Original silver gelatin photograph panoramic format measuring 16.75 x 7.5. Bears a white inscription in the negative: "CONFEDERATION JUBILEE GORDON BELL SCHOOL PAGEANT 1867-1927" to the bottom-centre and the name photographer's studio "Bauslaugh Photos 408 Main St. Winnipeg" to the right margin. <br /> <br />An utterly charming panoramic photograph capturing the full cast of a large-scale historical pageant held at Winnipeg's Gordon Bell School organized to celebrate Canada's 1927 Diamond Jubilee. The 60th anniversary of Confederation was a massive national event and patriotic school pageants such as the one pictured were a primary method of relating Canadian history civics and the era's concept of national identity. <br /> <br />The cast of students is arranged as a "living map" of Canada's diverse identities. Pictured at the centre are a row of young women in white dresses each personifying the provinces individually holding a shield with their respective coat of arms. The shields for Manitoba buffalo Saskatchewan wheat sheaves Alberta St. George's Cross over mountains and British Columbia Union Jack over a setting sun are clearly visible. Other central figures are dressed as "Britannia" or "Miss Canada" holding the Union Jack symbolizing the young nation's dual loyalties to both Canada and the British Empire. <br /> <br />Surrounding the central figures is a charming and diverse cast of students representing the many peoples comprising the nation. This includes students in Scottish kilts traditional Ukrainian and Polish embroidered shirts and floral headdresses and a young girl dressed in Indigenous regalia portrayed in a typical pageant-style. Other students are dressed as early settlers pioneers and historical figures creating a complete and idealized vision of the nation's multicultural identity. <br /> <br />The photograph was taken by Bauslaugh Photos of Winnipeg located at 408 Main Street very likely related to Bauslaugh & Taylor also of Winnipeg and active in the city between 1911-1915. An invaluable and lovely visual record of 1920's Winnipeg and Canada. Unrecorded in OCLC. Not found in Peel BAC/LAC UoM Archives & Special Collections et al. <br /> <br />Exceptionally well-preserved: the silver gelatin photograph retains strong detail and contrast. There is a short horizontal crease to the right margin extending slightly into the image area. Otherwise the photograph remains without flaws. The inscriptions in the negative remain equally clear and legible. Near fine. <br/><br/> Bauslaugh Photos (408 Main St.), Winnipeg unknown
