Isaac Erb fonds
Fonds - 1900-1910
P11
Isaac Erb (1846-1924) was born in Kars, Kings County, the son of John Erb and Mary Ann Morrell Erb. He married Frances Huestis and they had two children, John H. and Lavinia F. A professional photographer, his career spanned more than 50 years, from 1870 to 1924. Whether in the studio or on location, Erb’s camera captured the many facets of contemporary Saint John, and his work led him throughout New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Maine. The composition of his portraits and commercial photographs show the artistic temperament of the 19th century cameraman. This personal style continues well into the 20th century. His attention to detail and unique perspective on his subjects contributed in equal parts to his success in a business marked by transiency and brevity. By the end of his career he had produced more than 12,000 images, all of which he meticulously recorded in his logbooks. The approximately 3,400 extant glass negatives make up one of the most comprehensive collection of...
St. Anne's Mission Church on Restigouche (Listuguj) reserve, Quebec
Item - 1890-1900
P13\35
In Quebec, across from Campbellton, New Brunswick. Taken on a fete day celebrated in memory of the Saint (Anne), from whose hand a portion of the bone is preserved here. Located on the present site of the Mi'kmaq Museum, this chapel was built in 1895, based on plans by Rev. Pacific. In 1906, an adjoining church was completed, with a $7000 donation from railway millionaire Lord Mount Stephen, a Scottish protestant. Church, monastery, and chapel were destroyed by fire on February 3rd, 1912.
St. Andrews collection
Fonds - 1889, [1911?]
P23
The majority of these photographs come from a book entitled, “St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada: A Photographic Souvenir, July 1889.” The photographer or photographers are unidentified.
It is probable that this book is the work of D. Will McKay (MacKay). McKay was certainly taking photographs in St. Andrews at the time (see Will McKay Fonds - P682). PANB holds a book of photogravures of St. Stephen which McKay published through the Albertype Co. (N.Y.) in 1896 (MC80/4025), and the N.B. Legislative Library holds a copy of his 1896 book of St. Andrews photogravures, also published by Albertype Co. (917.1533 M153). This confirms that D. Will McKay was in the business of making photographic souvenir books in the last decade of the nineteenth century. These two books were reproduced in half-tone, with some variation in page order, by Print’N Press Ltd., out of St. Stephen, N.B. sometime around 1980. PANB holds both reproductions (MC80/3074, MC80/3075).
