So, few copies of this work have surfaced, we assume that the print run was small. That this title was translated into Russian (only two years after the American first), shows the fascination that Utah held to the outside world. Flaker/Draper 348d. Rare.

    Utah Under Glass An Introduction to Four Prominent Pioneer Photographers of 19th-century Utah Charles W. Carter Salt Lake City was the heart of the Mormon colonies, and no one recorded its growth as regularly and helpfully as did Charles William Car- ter, who took many different views of the city over several decades. But his panoramic work was not his bread and butter: like other photographers, he was a professional, which meant doing hack work on demand. And yet he managed to assemble an extensive and valuable library of photographs from 1859, when he arrived in Salt Lake, to 1906, when he sold his negative collection to the Bureau of Information of the Church for the sum of $400.00, to be paid in monthly installments of $25.00. Carter was born in London on 4 August 1832. During the Crimean War he served in the British Army, achieving the rank of sergeant in the 165th regiment.

His attempts to produce a blue dahlia for which a generous cash prize was offered fell short. Therefore, his son was forced to work as a laborer at an early age. Young Savage’s life was changed forever when, as a teenager, he heard the Mormon Elder Thomas B. H. Stenhouse speak about The Church Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Deeply moved by Elder Stenhouse’s instruction, Mr. Savage was officially indoctrinated into the Mormon faith and was baptized on May 21, 1848.
