Canada photo postcards along CPR in Western Canada by Byron Harmon
Nice set of three photo postcards with images taken along the route of the Canadian Pacific Railway through the Rocky Mountains. The photos were taken in the early 1900s by the famed photographer Byron Harmon.
64. Castle Mtn Banff (AB)
Nice image of railway tracks leading to horizon dominated by Castle Mountain
135. Lower Spiral Tunnel Field (BC)
Nice image of railway tracks and in distance a steam engine is approaching pulling long line of cars.
238. Stoney Creek Bridge (BC)
Nice image of railway cars passing over a canyon on the Stoney Creek bridge. The last passenger car has people sitting outside on the balcony, taking in the scenery.
Printed on back:
All unused.
Byron Harmon arrived in Banff from Tacoma, Washington in 1903 as a travelling photographer. The landscape and the spirit of adventure which permeated the Rockies then captivated Byron and set the stage for his life's work.
Byron's photographs capture the golden era of mountain exploration, yet they go beyond recording places and events. He was acutely aware of telling a story with photographs; he made sure of the casting, set the scene, and engrosses the viewer in the action.
When the Alpine Club of Canada was established in 1906 Byron was a founding member and its official photographer. The ACC undertook much of the formal exploration of the remote regions in the Rockies and Selkirks including surveying, glacial studies and many first ascents. This provided the perfect setting for photography and many of the early Harmon photographs date from these ACC camps and expeditions.
Most of Byron's photographs were taken with a 5X7 view camera with cellulose-nitrate negatives as glass plates were too heavy and fragile. In addition to these basic cameras he often had a smaller view camera along on an expedition and oddities like a stereo or panorama cameras.
