4 Thursday June 25 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NOR’WEST NEWS News Fendalton photographer’s historic collection IMAGES OF the early 1900s taken from a collection of fragile photographic glass plates are now in focus on the Christchurch City Libraries’ digital heritage site, Canterbury Stories. More than 700 images of the city from the 1000-strong collection are online, with the rest appearing on the site over the next few Carolyn Robertson weeks. It is the first time that the images are accessible to the public. Early Antigua Boat Sheds owner Samuel Anstey – believed to be responsible for the glassplate negatives – bought the building on the banks of the Avon River in the late 1800s, advertising that he had “70 wellbuilt boats to choose from” and a “photographic dark room for the use of visitors.” Fendalton-based Anstey, an English surveyor who arrived New Zealand in 1882, soon built up a remarkable photographic record. Many of those glass plate negatives remained in the space under the roof of the boat sheds until the early 1970s, when Canterbury DAY OUT: Boating on the Avon River in March 1904. Public Library librarian RC Lamb collected the images from the then owner of the site, WS Dini. City council head of libraries and information Carolyn Robertson says the Anstey Collection offers a “snapshot of early Christchurch life, capturing people, places and riverside poses.” “Staff are busy digitising these fragile images, providing a remarkable portal to Canterbury’s past,” Ms Robertson said. “The striking black and white photos illustrate the early 1900s in the city, including visiting theatrical companies, families, and even the Botanic Gardens, bridges, river rowers and horse riding in Hagley Park,” she said. “They also show the fashions of the day and early buildings now long gone, along with home and work interiors.
