Scope and content
File consists of portrait photography by Hanne. She photographed people of all ages, many of whom were members of the Koerner family (Beatrice Koerner, Iby Koerner, Sidney Koerner, Theo Koerner, N. Koerner, and Stephen Koerner). Other subjects include: Peter Sloan, Johnny Sloan, Gordon Sloan, Elizabeth Prentis, Marietta Prentis, Joan Bolton, Michael Bolton, M. Lourie, Suzanne Lourie, Gita Lourie, Marianne McCrae, Bob Maier, Anna L. Maier, Maria Bergson, Dennis Molnar, Joe Jetter, Otto Pick, Bill Robinson, and Sophie Atkinson. Additionally, there are various self-portraits by Hanne as well as pictures of her husband, George Walker. Also included in this file are two small, rectangular pieces of wood bound together with string. This unlabelled wooden binding contained a set of photos (PH-3412 to 3510), most of which were portraits.
Notes area
Physical condition
Materials are in moderate condition. Some photographic negatives exhibit signs vinegar syndrome such as blue discoloration and a sour odor. Most of the envelopes containing these negatives are quite dry and brittle. Some negatives had already decayed substantially at the time of their donation to RBSC and ultimately had to be thrown out. The edges of the medium-size prints that were housed between the two piece of wood are slightly curved at the edges.
Immediate source of acquisition
Materials in this file were donated by the West Vancouver Memorial Library.
