Biography

John Charles Spence was born on January 5, 1830, in Liverpool, United Kingdom. [1] [note 1] Around 1849, he opened a glass and stained glass factory at 40 Brownlow Hill in Liverpool. [2] He emigrated to Canada in August 1853 and settled at 21 Notre-Dame Street in Montreal. [3] [a 1] From that moment on, he worked for the Ramsay & McArthur firm, making stained and enamel glass. He is already present at the Lower Canada Provincial Exhibition in September 1853, where the company exhibited stained glass windows and furniture adorned with enamelled glass. [4] Also in 1853, he did the glazing for the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Church in Montreal. [5] On February 21, 1854, he formalized his partnership with the company. [AN-15359 1] However, on December 1, 1854, the Ramsay & McArthur partnership was dissolved by mutual consent and John C. Spence consequently cancelled his agreement with this company on January 1, 1855. [6] [AN-16040 1] He continued his business on his own account under the company name "Canada Stained Glass Works" and produced between 1855 and 1858 the stained glass windows for the altar of Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal. [7] [8]

Around 1862, John C. Spence ended his partnership with John McArthur and moved his workshop to 52 St. James Street. [a 2] [a 3] Around 1863, he moved his workshop again, this time to De Bleury Street, but in a temporary location while a new three-story brick building was being constructed by architect James Nelson at the intersection of Jurors and Bleury Streets to house his factory. [a 4] [9] [10] Around 1865, John C. Spence moved into his brand-new factory. [a 5]

John C. Spence died in Montreal on September 14, 1890. [1] His funeral was held on September 17, 1890, at Saint John the Evangelist Church. [1] His sons, William and Henry, continued their father's business together until their partnership was dissolved in 1899. [11] Henry John Spence continued the business, still under the names "John C. Spence & Sons" and "Canada Stained Glass Works," with the help of his own son, Frank Spence, until about 1917. [a 6] [a 7] Around 1920, the company became the "Montreal Art Glass Reg." [12]

Around 1894, the new baptistery of Saint John the Evangelist Church in Montreal was built in memory of John C. Spence. However, the stained glass windows were made by the Hardman & Co. company of the United Kingdom. [13]

Family

John C. Spence is the son of British sculptor William Spence and the brother of sculptor Benjamin Edward Spence. [14] [15] [16]

John C. Spence had at least four children: two sons, William Ramsay and Henry John, and at least two daughters (one residing in New York and the other in the United Kingdom). [d 1] [1]

Spence and the artists

Throughout his career, John C. Spence surrounded himself with artists for the creation of stained and enamelled glass. His presence in Montreal's artistic community allowed him to select talented artists. For example, he served on the management committee of the Mechanics' Institute of Montreal in the 1850s. [17] [18] Around 1854-1855, he also taught "landscape and ornamental drawing" there. [17] From 1884 to 1890, he was a member of the Art Association of Montreal and in 1886 sat on the association's decorative and industrial arts committee. [dd 1] [dd 2]
