We understand that Mr Bayne has completed his new phographic [sic] gallery, and that he opens for business to-morrow, Saturday.
Northern Advocate, 13 July 1889


Mr W. M. Bayne, the well-known photographer, who during the past few years has "taken" so many of the inhabitants of this district has now gone one step further and taken unto himself a wife. On Saturday last he was united in the bonds of holy matrimony to Miss Margaret Grace Hill, of Sandhurst, Victoria, the ceremony taking place in the Wesleyan Church before a large assemblage of people, the Rev. J. Thomas being the officiating clergyman. Miss Bayne and Miss McKenzie were the bridesmaids and Mr David McKenzie the best man. There were the usual showers of rice, and the subsequent wedding breakfast followed. We felicitate Mr and Mrs Bayne upon their union and wish them all sorts of happiness.

Mr W. M. Bayne, photographer, has removed into his new studio, in the premises lately occupied by Mr W. H. Palmer [William Hall Palmer, watchmaker and jeweller, father of the photographer Thomas Grice Palmer]. The studio is filled and replete with all necessary conveniences, and some very choice scenery has been added to the gallery. The premises are both handsome and commodious and a credit to Whangarei.

Northern Advocate, 17 September 1892


In this issue Mr W. Bayne, art photographer, intimates that he has opened studios in Hamilton and Cambridge, and proposes to divide each week between the two places. He can be seen at his studio, Grey-street, Hamilton East, on Monday until midday, and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday; and at Mr Tennent's, Cambridge, on Monday, after arrival of train, and on Tuesday and Wednesday in each week. Mr Bayne, since acting for Mr Hemus, of Auckland, has been favoured with a fair share of the patronage of the public, which he trusts may be continued now that he has thrown in his lot with us and become a resident in the district, Mr Bayne has had fourteen years experience in the colonies, during which period he has been employed in some of the best studios in the Australian colonies, and this should be a guarantee of first-class work.

The premises taken and fitted up by Mr. W. H. Bartlett, of Auckland celebrity, for artistic photography are to be open for public inspection this evening. The studio is in Veie's Buildings, adjoining Messrs. Morey's establishment, and is under the management of Mr. W. Bayne, who has had over 17 years' experience in the profession. The show cases that will be on view contain samples of all the popular types and styles of photography, those of the black and white specimens being particularly good and approaching to the beauty and finish of engravings. The enlargements are splendid works of art, and yet intensely natural. From babies to the Premier there are photos in plenty, and altogether a most attractive exhibition will be found. The public are cordially invited to inspect the whole of the premises and the contents, and as incandescent burners will be used for lighting purposes every facility will be given for a favourable view.

Come to Stay.
Mr Walter Bayne, whose son runs the popular photographic studio in Cameron-street, has come to Whangarei to stay. Mr Bayne, sen , is an artisan of some repute. He made and exhibited at the Melbourne Exhibition
[1888] a piece of cabinet work which was described as follows by the Auckland Star :— "For artistic design and excellent execution it is questionable whether this fine piece of workmanship can be beaten. The cabinet is a large one, being fitted up with innumerable drawers and jewel cabinets. In the front is a writing desk, and facing that is a large sliding panel fitted with weights. This is pushed down, and reveals 12 drawers, each faced with handsome pieces of kauri and rewarewa. The sliding panel is a fine piece of work. In the centre is a medallion, on which is carved representations of various native ferns. Adjoining this are five side panels of mottled totara. The pedestals [are]massive, and when opened disclose large [cabinets] capable of holding silver plate, etc. These pedestals have dark rimu moulding with totara beadings.

Inside the drawers are lined with blue velvet. The side cabinets have pods of peas carved upon them, and the head-piece is a bunch of grapes carved but of mottled kauri with leaves carved from plain red totara. Beneath the desk is another handsome panel of clouded kauri, while the claw of the pedestal is carved from plain kauri, to which is affixed a bunch of grapes carved out of New Zealand birdseye maple. There is no stain whatever used on the wood, and the effect of the tasteful grouping of the various woods is very pleasing. The pleneth is composed of rimu, mottled totara, rimu and various kinds of kauri. Hakehake and kahikatea wood is also used in the construction of the cabinet. This is truly a work of art, and does not look at all out of place in an art gallery.", Mr Bayne secured awards for this work at the Melbourne exhibition.

Weddings. 
Green - Peat. A wedding which created interest among many Wellington and Napier residents was solemnised at All Saints' Church, Kilbirnie, Wellington. The bride was Miss Elsie Peat, who for so many years has been connected with the firm of R. W. Armit, Ltd., and Mr H Hurley Green (sic), of Christchurch. She was given away by her father, Mr Frank Peat. She wore a beautiful frock of ivory and gold marocain with a lace overdress, and becoming cape; also a smart hat of ivory georgette, lace, and bird of paradise trimmings. A. dainty sheaf of golden roses and fern was carried. Miss Winifred Peat was in attendance, in a pink georgette frock finely tucked and trimmed with gold and silver lace, and a hat of lace and georgette. The usual dainty bouquet was carried. The best man was Mr Walter Brassington. The bride's mother was in mole crepe de chine heavily embroidered in violet, and a hat to tone. After the ceremony the guests were entertained at the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs George Rhodes, Seatoun road, Kilbirnie, and the hostess received the guests, wearing a biscuit satin marocain frock and lace hat, with almond trimmings. The bride and bridegroom left later by the Lyttelton steamer for their future home, the former travelling in a fawn gabardine frock heavily embroidered in Russian braid, and a hat or navy with white ospreys, and stole fur.

Photography.— We notice that Mr G. H. Daley has prolonged his stay in Wanganui for a limited time, previous to a tour of New Zealand for a collection of views. We have been shown a quantity of portraits of the townspeople, taken in a style worthy of the best Melbourne artistes, and indeed those anxious to have their faces and forms perpetuated should lose no time in visiting the studio.

Photography.- We were shewn to-day by Mr G. H. Daley a collection of photographic portraits, tastefully arranged in a rosewood and gilt frame. The first glance at the collection gave us a favorable impression, which was not diminished by a closer inspection. The portraits have been most carefully taken, the features of each subject shewing out with a clearness and distinctness only seen in portraits taken at first class studios. Wanganui people forming the subjects also added to the conception of the merits of Mr Daley's skill, the faces being so familiar any defect, was the more noticeable. Mr Daley having graduated at one of the best studios in Melbourne it is not, after all, surprising that he should, with the aid of clear Wanganui weather turn out such excellent specimens of the photographic art.

We should think Mr Daley will receive a fair amount of patronage from the inhabitants of these townships, who have not had the same opportunities of participating in this useful adjunct to civilization, as their more favored Wanganui friends.

A number of large photographs of members of the Polk and Pomeroy companies, displayed in the shop windows of Messrs Hardy and Sidey, Hooper, Cooper, &c., attracted a great deal of attention on Saturday night. They were exhibited as specimens of the work of Messrs Cazneau and Connolly, of Wellington, and more beautiful specimens of the photographer's art we have never seen. A novelty in the form of "statue" photographs shows the figure in shaded white, like a photograph of a marble statue on a black back ground. The large "panel" size pictures are particularly handsome, and some of them are taken with a half Rembrandt light — an effect very difficult to get. The general finish of all the pictures is admirable. Messrs Cazneau and Connolly intend to open a branch busibusiness [sic]  in Napier, and Mr Besse, their manager, has been in town during the last two days and has taken Mr Corbett's old studio, which is being enlarged and refitted so as to enable the same style and quality of work to be produced here. Mr Besse came from San Francisco under engagement to the firm, and he brought with him all the most modern American appliances — and the Americans admittedly take the lead in photographic work. Since his arrival some four months ago the business of Messrs Connolly and Caznau [sic] has taken rapid strides, thanks to the very superior style of the photographs they are now producing. The firm's best advertisement is a display of their work.
