Hayward & Muzzall Photograph Collection. The Huntington Library, San Marino, California.
Purchased from Joan Cota for the Library Collectors' Council, January 2010.
This collection was formed by Santa Barbara photographer Joel Conway (1915-2004). At least one of the photographs
was once owned by John C. Muzzall (1914-2009) of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The Santa Barbara photography firm of Hayward & Muzzall was composed of photographers E. J. Hayward (1837-1911) and Henry
W. Muzzall (1844-1924).
Hayward and Muzzall operated as a partnership from around 1874 to 1883 and primarily produced stereoviews, portraits, and
landscapes of Santa Barbara, California, and the vicinity.
Edwin J. Hayward was born in Canada in 1837 and later lived in Chicago, Illinois, before moving to Santa Barbara around 1872.
Henry Woolven Muzzall was born in
Indiana and later lived in Michigan before moving to Santa Barbara in the early 1870s, where he opened a photography studio.
This collection contains 170 photographs related to early California photographers E. J. Hayward and Henry Muzzall and consists
chiefly of stereograph views of the
Santa Barbara, California, region by Hayward and Muzzall, dating from the early 1870s to the mid 1880s, as well as additional
family photographs dating from 1862 to 1894.
Within the collection, there are 144 stereograph views: 51 by Hayward; 87 by Hayward & Muzzall; and 6 by additional photographers.
The stereos primarily
contain views of Santa Barbara streets and buildings, trees and gardens, and landmarks, including depictions of the Santa
Barbara Mission, State Street,
Hot Springs Canyon, and Chinese residents.
The stereos include more than 80 from Hayward & Muzzall's set
Views of Santa Barbara and Vicinity and a number from Hayward's
Stereoscopic Views of Santa Barbara and Vicinity. There are also 29 card photographs in the collection consisting primarily of portraits of
family members and friends, with 15 by Hayward and Muzzall, and 13 by other photographers.
Additional credited photographers in the collection, typically represented by one to three images, include Fay Hammond; Santa
Barbara photographers
Richard Arnold; John Ellis Edwards; William J. Rea; Norman H. Reed; William N. Tuttle; and A. M. Stringfield; as well as Los
Angeles photographer
James D. Westervelt; Stockton, California, photographer O. Elliot; and San Francisco photographer Carleton Watkins.
