Charles Roscoe Savage was born August 16, 1832, in Southampton, Hampshire, England to John Savage and Ann Rogers. At the age of thirteen, Charles began investigating religion in the local Southampton churches and was baptized a member of the LDS church on May 25, 1848. In 1855, having learned German and French fluently on service missions for the church, he was asked to serve as interpreter for a group of Saints who were emigrating to New York. He and his wife, Annie Adkins, made their home in Williamsburg, New York, where Charles worked in Samuel Booth's printing shop. While living in New York, Savage began to learn the photography business. In 1862, Savage formed a partnership with artist George Martin Ottinger, called Savage and Ottinger. Perhaps of all of his work, he is best known as one of the three photographers of the joining of the rails at Promontory Point. Savage and Ottinger legally dissolved their firm in 1870, after which Savage formed the Pioneer Art Gallery. In 1875, needing more space, he replaced it with the Art Bazaar.

Charles R. Savage (1832-1909) was one of the most prominent American photographers of the late nineteenth century. He is perhaps best known for shooting the coming together of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads at Promontory Point, Utah in 1869. His photographic trips, however, took him throughout the West from the 1860s to the 1890s and his images were sold across the United States and reproduced in Eastern periodicals. A convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he grew up in Southampton, England and moved to New York City in 1855. He slowly mastered the new medium of photography and by the time he and his young family made their way to Utah in 1860 he was ready to set up a permanent studio. Savage was a savvy businessman whose profits from a successful art/photography store funded his various photographic endeavors. In Utah he was known not only as a photographer but also as a philanthropist and passionate defender of the Mormon Chuch. He would eventually enter into polygamist unions with four women.

He and his wife, Annie Adkins, made their home in Williamsburg, New York, where Charles worked in Samuel Booth's printing shop. While living in New York, Savage began to learn the photography business. By 1860 he had set up his photography business in Council Bluffs, Nebraska. On June 8, 1860, the Savage family left for the Salt Lake Valley. In 1862, Savage formed a partnership with artist George Martin Ottinger, called Savage and Ottinger. A major photographic venture was his grand tour of the photographic studios of the United States in 1866. On this 9,000 mile trip, he cultivated relationships with newspapers, and saw the latest equipment and techniques, as well as stocked up on new equipment, including a photographic wagon for field work. Perhaps of all of his work, he is best known as one of the three photographers of the joining of the rails at Promontory Point. Savage and Ottinger legally dissolved their firm in 1870, after which Savage formed the Pioneer Art Gall

ery. In 1875, needing more space, he replaced it with the Art Bazaar. During the decades of the 1870s and 1880s, he took numerous trips, often to California. On June 26, 1883, his Art Bazaar was destroyed by fire and all of his negatives with it. Recovering rapidly, he began using the new dry plate technique and he reopened the new Art Bazaar just six months later. On April 6, 1892, he photographed the completion of the Salt Lake Temple and sang with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at the capstone ceremony. And, although he retired from management of his store and studio in 1906, he still continued to work sporadically until his death on February 3, 1909. His sons continued to run the Art Bazaar, but once again in August 1911, all of the glass plate negatives from the last 25 years of Savage's life were destroyed by fired. On December 31, 1926, the Art Bazaar closed its doors permanently.

C.R. Savage, born August 16, 1832, in England, became one of the foremost 19th century landscape photographers of the western United States, as well as a renowned studio portrait photographer, with his studio in Salt Lake City, Utah. The idea to emigrate from England to Utah undoubtedly began shortly after his 1848 baptism and membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS).

Savage's immigration in 1856 to New York marked the beginning of his known interest in establishing a photography business. On assignment from the LDS Church he traveled to Florence, Nebraska. His family subsequently joined him in 1860 and Savage established a primitive studio in Council Bluffs, Nebraska. Finally, the family made their way across the country arriving in Salt Lake City on August 29, 1860. The next day he made business arrangements with Marsena Cannon, a daguerreotype photographer and owner of a studio on East Temple. In 1862, with Cannon's departure to St. George, Utah, Savage formed a partnership with George Martin Ottinger. Savage & Ottinger legally dissolved their firm in 1870, and that same year Savage formed the Pioneer Art Gallery, and in 1875, needing more space, he replaced it with the Art Bazaar.

On June 26, 1883, his Art Bazaar burned to the ground, with all of his negatives. After his death on February 3, 1909, another fire in 1911 destroyed all of the negatives from the last twenty-five years of his career. Although his sons continued to operate the business, the Art Bazaar closed its doors permanently on December 31, 1926.
