Biographical Note:

Anders Beer Wilse came to America as part of the largest wave of Norwegian immigration. During the 1880s, ten out of every thousand inhabitants left Norway annually in search of new land and economic opportunity. Wilse had a degree in engineering and found employment with Minneapolis railroad companies surveying for new lines in the Midwest.

Wilse's experience was typical of all immigrants in that he was forced to move from place to place as his job changed frequently. He arrived in Seattle in 1890, where he was hired by the Great Northern Railroad to survey the crossing of the Cascade Mountains. Wilse's earliest known Pacific Northwest photographs are from this period, documenting the construction of the Great Northern line across the Cascade Mountains in 1892-93. Wilse moved to British Columbia when much new construction came to a halt in the Panic of 1893, but returned to Seattle in 1896 to work as a cartographer. In 1897, he began work as a tax assessor for King County; it was this experience that drove him to his career in commercial photography. "I saw numbers in the streets and talked numbers in my sleep," wrote Wilse. "I decided I could not take it anymore. I quit my job. [...]Two days after I quit my work as an engineer I became a scenic photographer." Wilse first joined in partnership with established photographer Daniel W. Kirk, running the Seattle office and developing and printing the images taken by the traveling Kirk. Frustrated by this division of labor, after six months Wilse bought the business from Kirk.

Wilse's decision to change careers in 1897 was a fortuitous one. In July, the news that gold had been discovered in the Klondike region reached Seattle. The photographer found a steady market for his images of departing steamships, streets crowded with merchants selling supplies, and dog teams being trained for work in the north. The years that followed the initial rush of gold seekers provided more subjects for the photographer, as Wilse recorded the building of the city's water system, the street car lines, fire departments, schools, parks and recreational facilities. His pictures appeared frequently in publications promoting the region as beautiful and full of growth and opportunity.

Landscapes are another important facet of Wilse's work. Like the Romantic painters, Wilse focused on what he saw as a harmonious relationship between human subjects and the natural world. Wilse work was also guided by the philosophy that cities should be built so that their residents could commune with the natural environment, as evidenced in his photographs of campers and cyclists along Lake Washington and of Seattle's parks and beaches. Wilse's recurring interest in documenting the way of life of a variety of peoples is exemplified by his images of Native Americans. In 1900, he visited Neah Bay, Washington and took numerous pictures of the Makah and their cedar dugout canoes.

By 1900, Wilse listed his business as the Seattle Photographic Company. That same year, Wilse traveled to Norway to join his wife, leaving the business in the hands of his assistants, fully intending to return the following year. Once in the homeland, however, his wife refused to leave again. The Seattle Photographic Company continued to do business under the management of one of Wilse's assistants until it closed in 1913.

In May 1901, Wilse opened a photography studio in Oslo. Wilse began his career in Norway by linking himself with the country's growing tourist industry, photographing foreigners touring Norway by steamship. He also traveled throughout the countryside, to remote villages and up mountain peaks, covering in greater breadth the variety to be found in the Norwegian people and landscape. In 1905, the nation of Norway was born when it achieved final separation from Sweden. The desire to establish a strong national identity supported Wilse's career. Artists tried to express those aspects of life they considered notably Norwegian. Wilse's subjects became icons of the Norwegian visual culture.

The collection consists of black and white glass negatives and positives made by A.B.Wilse before his return to Norway in 1900, and by other photographers at the Seattle Photographic Company between 1901 and 1913.

Early photographs document a surveying expedition for the Great Northern railroad in the Cascade Mountains; most of the collection, however, depicts scenes in and around Seattle. Images of Seattle parks and beaches show people bicycling, camping, or otherwise enjoying the natural environment; waterfront pictures depict ships and shipbuilding facilities, such as the Moran Brothers plant during construction of twelve steamships for the gold rush to the Yukon. Documentation of Seattle buildings includes many images of downtown hotels and other commercial buildings, prominent private homes, schools, and government buildings such as City Hall, the Assay Office, and Seattle Fire Department station houses. Later photographs document the regrading of Seattle hills, including images of the Denny Hotel before it was destroyed as part of the Denny Hill regrade.

A 1900 series of photographs taken by Wilse at Neah Bay portrays Makah Indians and the cedar dugout canoes used by the Makah for whale hunting. Wilse also photographed Native American craftspeople and the Indian artifacts collected by local residents, including those decorating Illahee, the summer home of Justice and Mrs. Thomas Burke on Lake Washington. Wilse documented early Klondike Gold Rush activity, including dog teams and ships loaded for the journey to the Yukon.

The collection also contains a number of copy negatives from photographs not taken by Wilse, including images of the Seattle fire of 1889 and its aftermath, portraits of Princess Angeline, and operations at Conrad Mines in Alaska.

Modern prints made from the glass plate negative originals are available for reference purposes.
