bioghist: label: Biographical/Historical note
content: Charles Roscoe Savage (1832-1909) was an English-born photographer in Salt Lake City, Utah.  He immigrated to the United States around 1856, shortly after becoming a member of the Mormon Church.  After spending time on assignment for the church in Nebraska, he settled in Salt Lake City in 1860 and went into partnership with Marsena Cannon, a daguerreotype photographer and studio owner.  When Cannon left Salt Lake City in 1862, Savage partnered with George Martin Ottinger under the name Savage & Ottinger.  When that partnership dissolved in 1870, Savage opened the Pioneer Art Gallery, which he renamed Art Bazaar in 1875.  Starting in May 1869, Savage also became a photographer for the Union Pacific Railroad, a project that continued almost to his death.  Most of Savage's negatives were destroyed when the Art Bazaar burned, first in 1883 and again after his death in 1911.
