Description: ORIGINAL! RARE! CHARLES ROSCOE SAVAGE STEREOVIEW PHOTO OF MORMON SALT LAKE TEMPLE 1870-75 CHARLES ROSCOE SAVAGE'S STEREOVIEW PHOTO OF THE ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING OF THE COMPLETED MORMON SALT LAKE TEMPLE STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT THE TIME. 1870-75. Charles Roscoe Savage, a British-American Latter-day Saint photographer, is arguably most famous for his photograph taken in a remote town in northern Utah: on May 10, 1869, the first transcontinental railroad to stretch across the United States was completed at Promontory Summit, and Savage was there to capture the event. While the original photograph is held at the special collections of Brigham Young University, the Church History Library holds many other original photographs taken by Savage during his career as a photographer of the western United States. Savage was born in Southampton, England, on August 16, 1832. He joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1848 and served a mission in Switzerland from 1853 to 1855. Upon returning to England, he met Annie Adkins; the two were married ten days after immigrating to the United States via New York in 1856. While in New York, Savage started to learn photography techniques, including some then-experimental methods. For example, he took the first stereographic photographs of Long Island. In 1860, Savage and his family immigrated to Salt Lake City, Utah. He briefly formed a photography studio with Marsena Cannon, but it only lasted a year because Cannon moved to southern Utah. Savage then joined with George Martin Ottinger to form another photography studio, Savage and Ottinger, which was in business from 1862 to 1870. In 1870, that partnership was dissolved, and Savage opened the Pioneer Art Gallery on Salt Lake City’s Main Street. It operated until 1875, when he expanded and formed the Art Bazaar. The Art Bazaar went on to operate past Savage’s death in 1909 until it finally closed its doors in 1926. > THE PICTURE OF THE TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD HISTORIC MAY 10,1869 EVENT IN WITH THE PICTURES IS FOR REFERENCE ONLY AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING.
