Description: CARLEM COLLECTIONS Mr. & Mrs. O.H. Partridge Ben-My-Chree BC Canada © 1927 Matthew Watson Y.T. Real Photo Postcard Sitting at the south-west end of the Taku Arm of Tagish Lake, at the mouth of the Swanson River, Ben-My-Chree is a Northern legend. Otto and Kate Partridge had come north during the Klondike Gold Rush, but never made it to Dawson. Otto got involved in shipbuilding, cutting lumber and then mining in the Southern Lakes region, and in 1911, they started developing property near their gold mine as a home. Otto named it "Ben-My-Chree," Manx for "Girl of My Heart." A combination of Otto's story-telling, Kate's hospitality and musical ability, and a spectacular garden in a remote glacial valley prompted tourists to start arriving, and during the 1920s it became a must-see for visitors to the Yukon. Otto and Kate both died in 1930, but Ben-My-Chree tours continued to be offered by the White Pass & Yukon Route into the 1950s, using the sternwheeler Tutshi to take people down the lake system. Photographer / Publisher : The Gowen, Sutton Co. Ltd., Vancouver, B.C. Frank Gowen, 1878 to 1946 was born in the United Kingdom. He worked in Brandon, Manitoba, in 1907. By 1916 he was in partnership as Gowen & Stevens in Vancouver then incorporated under the name Gowen Sutton Co. Ltd. As a publisher of real photo and printed postcards of the Canadian West, they produce cards depicting large cities and captured many hard to reach wilderness views. Many of their cards were hand tinted in a simple manner striving for style rather than realism, which created cards in vastly differing quality. While the real photo cards were made in Canada their printed cards were made in England.
