The item is a modern photographic reproduction, probably made around 1968. It is of the Victoria Volunteer Rifle Corps Band (established 1864) at Clover Point in Victoria. William Haynes (former Royal Engineer) was the first bandmaster. The band later became the 5th (BC) Field Regiment Band. The original photograph was probably taken by Frederick Dally on August 4, 1866, as noted in the British Colonist newspaper on August 4, 1866.

The album consists of 65 pages, which contain 58 b&w photographs from various creators, and 5 engravings. The photographs primarily depict scenery throughout British Columbia, as well as some photographs of First Nations people and villages. Many of the photographs appear to have been taken by George Mercer Dawson during Geological Survey of Canada expeditions (1878 and 1879), and are complemented by the Survey reports. However, there are also some photographs by Frederick Dally and by Richard Maynard. When known, the photographers and any identifying information are provided (see the attached list of photographs). Many of the unidentified photographs may be Geological Survey of Canada photographs by Dawson as several are numbered in a similar way.
