By: Barltrop, George William, 1863-1946

Reference: PA1-o-294

Description: Photograph album presented to George William Barltrop by Herbert Spackman of Rintoul Street, Wellington. Includes a letter attached inside the front cover which reads in part "Dear Mr Barltrop, Please accept the accompanying photo album as a small acknowledgement of the very valuable help you have so very generously afforded me in my early struggles in amateur photography...". Photographs are all of the Wellington area, and were probably taken by George William Barltrop. The first group of images show the process of inserting a middle section, thus enlarging St Thomas's Anglican Church in Newtown. Several views of Taita are followed by a group portrait of a man and two boys seated in a garden, wearing church vestments; and a woman also seated in a garden reading a book. The following sequence is chiefly related to The Wellington branch of The Missions to Seamen, and include two views of a cemetery in which a close view of a headstone commemorates the loss of Andrew Hughson (drowned aged 27, when lost overboard from the SS Takapuna in May 1899), and Captain Brewer, the officers and crew of the SS Ohau which foundered in the same storm. There is a photographic image of a receipt from the Missions to Seamen, Wellington, for 12 pounds, received from "Members of the City Police"; and a number of group portraits of Missions to Seamen picnics, the group in each case carrying the Missions banner. c Two views show steamships in Wellington harbour, and one is of a group of soldiers on the wharf in Wellington, prearing to embark for the South African War, with members of the public watching the parade.

Description: Photographs of the Wellington region, and family snapshots. Many of the images give information about camera speed and light, and time of day taken. Not all the people are identified, with one family dominating the portraits, members of the Spackman family, living in Rintoul Street, Newtown in the 1890s. Herbert Spackman is shown with his wife (Daisy Spackman), and daughter (Sylvia?), and can also be seen at work in the New Zealand Government Life Insurance offices. There is one group portrait of staff members of the office. Another link to the family is seen in photographs of St Thomas' Church in Newtown, both exterior views while undergoing additions, and interior views; and one image of choir members at St Thomas'. There are also interior and exterior views of St Paul's Pro-Cathedral (now known as Old St Paul's) Other images include views of Wellington bays, interior and exterior views of Horace William Lloyd's premises (watchmaker, jeweller and optician) in Lambton Quay, the Newtown tennis court opening, the home of Josephus Hargreaves Richardson (chief commissioner of the Government Life Insurance), interior views of a house with a baby lying asleep in a cot, and Marshall's houses in Worser Bay, alongside J.
