Bowslaugh was a farmer, contractor and owner of the Grimsby Planing Mills in Grimsby, Ont. and Bowslaugh’s Planing Mill in Kingsville, Ont. The mills manufactured door and sash trim and other wood related products. Some customers contracted the firm to provide wood products for cottages being built at Grimsby Park, the Methodist camp ground. Some time before 1885 Edward Bowslaugh and his family moved to Kingsville, Ont. to open up a new planing mill and door and sash manufactory. He later sold the Grimsby Planing Mills to Daniel Marsh.

James Bowslaugh was a farmer and lumberman, much like his younger brother Edward. James’ early diaries often note the activities of himself and his brother Edward. Both Edward and James were heavily involved in the Methodist church, teaching or leading Sunday school and attending prayer meetings. Alfred M. Bowslaugh b. 1873 was the son of Edward W. Bowslaugh and his wife Mary Southward. The school notebook is from his days as a student in Kingsville, Ont.

Percepção visual da cidade: iconografias da natureza urbana de Belém (1808 – 1908)

Este estudo propõe uma análise das iconografias urbanas de Belém, produzidas no decorrer do século XIX e início do XX. A tese tem por objetivo, então, analisar a representação da natureza em Belém, especificamente nos anos de 1808 a 1908. O compromisso inicial desse estudo se concentrou em pesquisar os diversos tipos de iconografias sobre Belém no decorrer dos Oitocentos. As questões que se procurou evidenciar tratam sobre a forma como os viajantes apreenderam a cidade, em sua passagem por Belém, tanto sob o ponto de vista narrativo quanto o visual, até os anos de 1890. A partir de então, também identificar como os governantes promoveram a cidade para além da região Amazônica. Observa-se que a natureza brasileira passou a ser representada, a partir do século XIX, por meio de linguagem escrita e iconográfica, isto graças à influência do cientificismo e da sensibilidade artística romântica, que perpassaram pelo conhecimento do país. A sensibilidade romântica realizou a aproximação entre ciência e estética ao apreender e representar a natureza, numa visão totalizante, inaugurando uma nova concepção de paisagem e a tentativa de “inventar” e visualizar uma natureza urbana, a qual é tema principal desse estudo; representa o fenômeno da urbanização que foi registrado, especialmente, por meio da fotografia. Nesse tipo de fotografias, a natureza aparece domesticada, adaptada ao desenho urbano, sua forma artificiosa e geométrica é valorizada. A fotografia urbana do final do século XIX reintroduz o “belo ideal” nas imagens da natureza ordenada segundo o modelo dos jardins franceses, ingleses e italianos. Parto do pressuposto de que a contemplação da natureza é adaptada para a realidade da região Amazônica, embora estivessem presentes modelos provenientes da Europa, mas encontram as suas especificidades a partir de uma natureza exuberante da Amazônia A percepção de natureza na Amazônia da segunda metade do século XIX e a influência de novas formas de conceber a natureza foram projetadas para as cidades na reformulação dos espaços para constituir a área verde, especialmente de Belém. Pensar historicamente a representação da natureza é refletir sobre a sua apropriação pela ação humana ao mesmo tempo em que diferentes indivíduos e grupos sociais circularam e deixaram suas marcas específicas nos lugares construídos a partir de uma natureza domesticada na paisagem urbana.
