University of Victoria Archives and Special Collections SC131 Richard University of Victoria Archives and Special Collections SC131 Richard Roskell Bayne fonds 1. Fonds-level description Title Richard Roskell Bayne fonds Dates 1861-1890, 1994-2007 Extent 728 sketches, 8 diaries, 162 photographs, 23 CDs, 346 slides, 2 floppy disks, 27 architectural plans Biographical sketch Richard Roskell Bayne was born in Stoneleigh, Warwickshire on 7 July 1837 to Richard Bayne (1801-1878) and Ann Turnill (1803-1940), who had married 19 October 1834. Richard Roskell has an older sister Ann, a younger brother Robert Turnill, and younger sister Mary. His brother Robert (1837-1915) became a prominent stained glass artist with the firm Heaton, Butler, and Bayne. Richard received his first training in architecture from his father. In 1858, Bayne worked in the office of the architect Charles Barry while attending classes at University College, University of London. By 1859 he was studying at the South Kensington School of Design in London, and in 1860 was awarded the Queen's Prize by that institution. After completing a year of travel in Europe, Bayne returned to London where he worked in the office of architect Digby Wyatt. In 1864, he passed the Royal Institute of British Architects Voluntary Architectural Examination, and was also awarded the RIBA Soane Medal. This prize enabled Bayne to make an extensive sketching tour in Europe in 1864-1865. Bayne entered the service of the East India Railway Company on 20 March 1866 and moved to Calcutta. By the time he retired from the Company on 30 April 1890, he had earned the rank of district engineer. Bayne’s major projects in India were: - Sir Stuart Hogg Market (Kolkata, 1874) - Thornhill and Mayne Memorial Library (Allahabad, 1878) - Mayo Memorial Hall (Allahabad, 1879) - East India Railway Offices aka Fairlie Place (Kolkata, 1881) - Husainabad Clock Tower (Lucknow, 1881) On 13 March 1866 Bayne married Eleanor Sparkes in Woolbridge, Suffolk. They had four children who survived into adulthood: Stanley Richard Sparkes (1866-1933), Percy Robert Clitherall (1870-19??), Talbot Harold Knights (1872-1951), and Digby Mason Septimus (1878- 1967). They also had three children who died in infancy: Sybil (d. 1872), Douglas (d. 1873), and Lennox (d. 1875). Eleanor died 4 April 1882 at age 39 in Kurseong, India. Bayne later remarried to his sister-in-law, Daisy Sparkes, 30 years his junior. In 1890 she gave birth to a daughter. Several of Bayne’s children had immigrated to Canada and settled on Vancouver Island. After his retirement Bayne and his family moved to Victoria, British Columbia, where he opened an architectural office in May 1891. In 1898 he entered the Asylum for the Insane in New Westminster. He died there of a seizure on 4 December 1901 at age 73, and is buried in the Ross Bay Cemetery in Victoria. For more information see the paper “Building for the Raj: Richard Roskell Bayne” by Anthony Welch, Martin Segger, and Nicholas DeCaro in Canadian Art Review 34.2 (2009). Scope and content Fonds consists of sketches and watercolours produced by Bayne during his 1864-1865 European sketching tour, which included stays in France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Germany. There are also some later sketches he made while he was working in India, as well as from during his time in Canada. Fonds also includes eight sketching diaries of Bayne’s. There are additionally several personal items, which include a photograph of Bayne, two architectural certificates he earned, and a drawing dedicated to his deceased wife. The 2015 accession is of records created by Dr. S. Anthony Welch, formerly a professor of art history at the University of Victoria. This accession contains records pertaining to his and Martin Segger’s research on Bayne, as well as documents from seminars they taught on him. Also includes grant application paperwork, and a printed copy of The Travels and Journal of Ambrosio Bembo, for which he wrote an introduction. Notes Acquired February 1995, April 2007, June 2009, November 2017. In 1999 the University of Victoria’s Maltwood Gallery developed an online exhibit of Bayne’s sketches. The exhibit can be found at http://www.maltwood.uvic.ca/bayne/. 2. Structure Series 1. Sketches. 728 sketches. 1864-1895. Accession 1995-005, boxes 1-5. Series consists of drawings and watercolours produced by Bayne on a European sketching tour in 1864-65. Bayne spent four months in France (August-December 1864), sketching Romanesque and Gothic churches at Amiens, Soissons, Noyon, Angers, Toulouse, and along the Loire. He then travelled to Spain where he spent three months (January-March 1865) documenting sites in the Pyrenees he believed would soon be lost to warfare and neglect, recording stained glass windows and other architectural details of Gothic and Romanesque structures, and visiting sites with important Moorish architecture. He also made careful notations on his drawings and sketches with a complete numbering system, identification of the city, structure and facade, and the date of the work. From Spain, Bayne travelled to Naples where he spent about a week in Sicily. He went on to Greece and Turkey for a month (April - early May 1864), apparently going from Athens to Salonica and south to Constantinople. Many of the drawings are missing from this series, but show his interest in Byzantine churches and Islamic architecture in Greece and Turkey. He returned to Naples for a four month tour of Italy (May-August 1864). Work from this stay includes a few drawings from Pompeii, panoramic views of Rome, architectural drawings of Renaissance and Medieval structures from Rome, Venice, Milan, Florence, Pisa, and Assisi, and sketches of architectural details such as stained glass in Assisi and the Baptistry doors in Florence. In September, 1864, Bayne was in Germany, but only a few of these drawings remain. The information about them is limited as they are dated or numbered, but the sites are not recorded on most. After Bayne accepted a position with the East India Railway Company in 1866, he moved to Calcutta, India. Part of the series includes sketches he made on tours in India, and illustrate Muslim and Hindu structures in Benares, Delhi, Allahabad, Madras, Ahmadabad, Bombay, Brindabun, Chitor, Moorabad, and Calcutta. Series 2. Diaries. 1065 drawings. 1893-1890 Accession 2007-050, Accession 2009-015 Series consists of eight sketching diaries of Bayne’s. Series 3. Personal. 1 photograph, 2 certificates, 1 drawing. Accession 2007-050, folders 6.1 to 6.4 Series consists of a photograph of Bayne and a drawing dedicated to his deceased wife. There are also two certificates, one of which commemorates his achievement in passing the Voluntary Architectural Examination in 1864 with distinction, and the other certifying his election as an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Series 4. Anthony Welch. 62 cm of textual records, 161 photographs, 346 slides. 1994-2007. Accession 2015-039 Series consists of records generated by Dr. S. Anthony Welch, former professor of fine art at the University of Victoria, from his research on Bayne.

Also includes a printed copy of the book Travels and Journal through Part of Asia During About Four Years Undertaken by Me, Ambrosio Bembo, Venetian Noble, translated by Clara Bargellini with an introduction by Welch.

  • Marketing Fragment 6 X 10.T65
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-25551-6 - The Latin Church in Norman Italy G. A. Loud Excerpt More information Introduction The kingdom of Sicily was created by the coronation of its first ruler, the former Count Roger II of Sicily, in Palermo cathedral on Christmas Day 1130. The kingdom that was born then lasted, despite many vicissitudes, and even some lengthy periods of division, until the creation of modern Italy in 1860. The papal bull that sanctioned the creation of this new kingdom recorded that this was proper since God had granted Roger ‘greater wisdom and power’ than other princes, and in recognition of the 1 loyal service to the papacy of his parents and himself. The pope, Anacletus II, was obviously seeking justification for his action, and the reasons for such a grant were in fact considerably more complex, and will be discussed in a later part of this book (below, chapter 3). Yet as Roger’s own con- temporary biographer noted, without mentioning the papal role in the conferment of the new royal title at all, it was appropriate that one who ‘ruled so many provinces, Sicily, Calabria and Apulia and other regions stretching almost to Rome, ...ought to be distinguished by the honour of kingship’. After raising a spurious and unhistorical, if attractive, theory that Sicily had once, in ancient times, been a kingdom, he concluded: now it was right and proper that the crown should be placed on Roger’s head and that this kingdom should not only be restored but should be spread wide to 2 include those other regions where he was now recognised as ruler.
