Date: 1924-ca1980

By: Searle, Roland James, 1904-1984

Reference: PAColl-0639

Description: Most of the black and white photographs date from the late 1920s to ca 1950. Of these there are quite a large number of early prints from the late 1920s to the mid 1930s. Most of these have not been "pictorialised" in the soft focus style Searle used for his later finished work. They are small snapshot sized and sharp and clear in detail. The general range of their subject matter sums up Searle's range of interests, photographically speaking, throughout his life. This general subject range is as follows - Railways, family friends and weddings (women and children predominate), Wellington city, Ships, Wellington Botanic Garden, Wellington Zoo (mainly animal studies), ANZAC Days, Some sports, aircraft, some other New Zealand towns, military training Second World War, some overseas trips of which those to New Caledonia during the Second World War and later were the most significant, and landscape studies. This last category makes up the largest group of photographs in the collection, especially in the later "pictorial" prints. Though the majority are unlabeled, most have at least one with identification written on the back - though to find these would require looking through some thousands of prints. Most of the pictorialised photographs have been printed on a pale creamy - brown paper which gives them an antique and arty appearence. Most have been manipulated to soften the focus, at times creating a painterly effect or the effect of some lithographs of the late 19th/early 20th centuries. A few have been treated to look like pencil drawings. Though most are landscapes there are also a fair number of architectural shots and flower studies, and some Māori subjects and portraits. Landscapes are predominantly attempts to emulate the sublime and classical/romantic traditions. Mountains and glaciers, humanised landscapes, with or without sheep, reminiscent of the creations of the 18th century English landscape designers, are most common. A fair number of the latter have been taken in some of our larger public parks and gardens. Humans very seldom feature in them. There are several essays of the Pinnacles at Palliser Bay. Many of the same images have been used over and over again. Arrangement: Negatives housed at 1/4-096421 to 096718 and 098069 to 099110; 1/2-178222 to 178231 Quantity: 7320 b&w original photographic print(s). 5 album(s). 214 b&w original negative(s) of which 204 are 35mm strips comprising 632 images. 162 colour original photographic print(s). 3100 colour original transparency/ies. 33 colour photo-mechanical print(s).

Description: The album begins with the wedding of Iris Payne to Harry Coburn at an unidentified Wellington church in about 1948. There are a few photographs of the reception which include the bride, the groom, the cake, guests, and the bride's mother and father. One group of three photographs are of the bride with her mother, Florence Edith Payne. The next group of photographs relate to holidays taken by Iris and Harry Coburn from the late 1940s to about the mid 1950s. In the earlier part of the sequence they owned a late 1930s Austin car. Later this was replaced by a Standard 8 or Standard 10 dating from about 1954. The holidays covered many of the standard new Zealand tourist destinations in the north and south islands and Stewart Island. Many of the photographs show Iris and Harry with friends and family, sometimes picnicing on holiday, or visiting en route. Babies and other children often feature in these groups. A group of colour prints date from 1962, 1964, and 1966. There are some scenic views, but most show groups of people. One shows Iris with a hugh red gladiolus bloom. Three photographs at the end of the album show Iris, Harry, and Florence in a group of people looking over the damaged ship `Wanganella' in the floating dock in Wellington, probably in 1947. Loose prints have the same range of subjects as most of the rest of the album. Among them is one colour print dated 1971 showing Iris standing at a gate decorated with a variety of wheels.
