Charles Roscoe Savage From Wikipedia, the freeencyclopedia Charles Roscoe Savage (August 16, 1832- February 4, 1909)[1] was a British-bornlandscape and portrait phot ographer who produced images of the AmericanWest. He is best known forhis 1869 photographs of the linking of the first transcontinental railroad. Savage was bornin Southampton, England, on August 16, 1832. At age 14, he joined The Churchof Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LOS Church). Afterserving missions forthe church in Switzerlandand England, he emigrated to theUnited States during the winterof 1855-56. He initially foundwork as a photographer in New York City, and headed west the followingyear. He firstsettled in Nebraska, then CouncilBluffs, Iowa, where he established his first independent studioand gallery. In the spring of 1860, he traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah Territorywith his family, where he established a photography studio with a partner, Marsena Cannon, anearly Utah daguerreotypist andphotographer. A year later, afterCannon moved to southernUtah, Savage established a partnershipwith artistGeorge Ottinger. Many of Savage'sphotographs were reproduced in Harper's Weeklynewspaper, which created a national C. R. Savage, self-portrait, ca. 1880- reputation forthe firm.This partnershipcontinued until 1870. 1890. As a photographer under contractwith the Union PacificRailroad, Savage traveled to Californiain 1866 and then followed the rails back to Utah. He photographed thelinking of the Union Pacificand Central Pacific on PromontorySummit, at Promontory, Utah in 1869. This series is considered his most famous work. Other well known Savage images include picturesof the Great Basin tribes,especially the Paiute and Shoshone. Savage photographed scenic areas of the west including Yellowstone National Park, Zion National Park, andcreated many images documenting the growth of Utah townsand cities. England bornartist Alfred Lambourne often painted scenes while Savage photographed. l2] He also traveledextensively over westernNorth America, taking pictures in areas of Canada andMexico, and in areas from the PacificOcean to Nebraska in the mid-west. Most of Savage's archived photographs, produced by several differentearly photographic methods, were lost in 1883 in adisastrous studio fire. Notes 1. ""Death Certificate". State of Utah.

(Charles Roscoe) Savage, 1832-1909 C.R. Savage, born 16 August 1832 in England , became one of the foremost 19 th century landscapephotographers of the western United States , as wel as a renownedstudio portraitphotographer, with his studio in Salt lake City , Utah . The idea to emigrate from England to Utah undoubtedly began shortlyafter his 1848 baptism and membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). Savage's immigration in 1856 to New York marked the beginning of his known interest in establishing a photography business. On assignment from the LOS Church he traveled to Florence, Nebraska . His familysubsequently joined him in 1860 and Savage established a primitivestudio in Council Bluffs, Nebraska . Finally the familymade their way across the country arrivingin Saft Lake Cityon 29 August 1860. The next day he made business arrangementswith Marsena Cannon, a daguerreotype photographer, and owner of a studio on East Temple . In 1862, with Cannon's departure to St. George , Utah, Savage formeda partnership with George Martin Ottinger. Savage & Ottinger legally dissolved their firm in 1870, and that same year Savage fanned the Pioneer Art Gallery , and In 1875, needing more space,he replacedit with the ArtBazaar. On 26 June 1883, his Art Bazaar burned to the ground, with all of his negatives. Afterhis death on 3 February 1909, another fire, In 1911, destroyed all of the negatives fromthe last 25 years of his career. Although his sons continued to operate the business, the Art Bazaar closed its doors permanently on 31 December 1926. About the Collection (Ca.1866-1906) Becauseof the fires which destroyedSavage's negatives, this collectioncontains original prints, covering all periods of his career. It includes stereographs, carte­ de-vislte, cabinet, and boudoir prints, with the medium predominately albumen, and a number of collodian and gelatin prints, all of varying quality. Perhaps the most well-known of Savage's photographs is that of the joining of the transcontinental railroadat Promontory, Utah , 1 O May 1869. He joined two other famousphotographers, AndrewJ. Russell and AlfredA. Hart, in documentingthis historic event. In addition thiscollection inciuues hundreds of images of Sall Lake Cityand the west, with Utah and California prtidominatlng. Savage was al:.o a prolific portrait photographer, i,ndhis numerous portraits of Brigham Young and other LOS church leaders are well represented.

Sanktpeterburg [Saint Petersburg, RUS]: Tip. M. Khana, 1872. First Edition in Russian. 415pp. Octavo [25 cm] Original 3/4 calf over blacked pebbled boards. Minor sporadic foxing throughout otherwise near fine. Title translates to: 'The life of the Mormons in Utah; or the Sacraments and Crimes of Mormonism.' Rare Russian imprint of Beadle's screed against Mormonism. We locate two institutional copies (LoC - LDSCHL). This is one of only two books in Russian listed in Flake/Draper and the only dedicated solely to the LDS Church (the other title: 'Puteshestvie po Amerike V 1869–1870,' is a travel narrative that includes ten pages devoted to Salt Lake City and the LDS Church). 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. John Hanson Beadle(1840-1897), was a journalist and author who was born in Liberty township, Parke County, Indiana. As a youth of twenty-one he enlisted in the 31st Indiana infantry for the Civil War, serving as a private until 1862, when he was discharged for disability.

    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 childhood was characterized by extreme poverty. His genial father was a gardener unable to provide adequately provide for his family. 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.
