Any information you might have on Victoria photographer Gus A. Maves (1882-1942)?

I am researching Victoria photographer Gus A. Maves (1882-1942). Maves was originally from Toronto, Ontario. He was most active in Victoria between the 1920s and 1930s. He specialized in scenic landscapes for postcards and industrial photography such as homes (exteriors and interiors), gardens and agricultural activities. His wife Margaret did the coloring of his photographs and also "transformations" to turn a photograph into a piece of art. His BC work is preserved by the BC Archives, Royal BC Museum.

If you know of any examples of his work outside the BC Archives or have any information about him you can share, please contact me via the e-mail address on my contact page.
