Portrait of Sir John Harvey. – [ca. 1840?]. – 1 photograph : b&w. Photograph of a portrait painting. Artist and photographer unknown. Army officer and colonial administrator, John Harvey (1778-1852) was appointed lieutenant governor of New Brunswick on 25 May 1837. In addition to sorting out the disputes at Stanley, Harvey focused much of his attention, while in New Brunswick, on resolving issues relating to crown land revenues, the composition of the Executive Council, and the Maine-New Brunswick border dispute. His decision to bring leading members of the legislative assembly into the council led to assertions that he established a form of responsible government in the province. Sir John left New Brunswick in the spring of 1841 following his appointment as lieutenant governor of Newfoundland.
