Photographs

The series consists of photograph albums and loose photographs created primarily by Frederick Dally. File MS-3100.11, Accession 198611-001, also contains photographs by Richard Maynard and possibly Oregon Hastings. All prints, whether loose or in albums, are black and white, created between 1866 and ca 1879.

The photographs contain Victoria streetscapes, Vancouver Island landscapes, the San Juan Island British Camp, and visiting Royal Navy ships and crews. As an amateur ethnographer, Dally photographed indigenous peoples in his studio, in coastal villages and through the Interior.

Photographs also include shots of the British Columbia interior including the Cariboo Wagon Road, isolated road houses and the gold rush town of Barkerville with portraits and views of miners posed at their placer gold claims and mining camps amid deforested hills.

Since photographers often sold their original glass plate negatives to other photographers when they went out of business, some of these original views may have been taken by other photographers, e.g. Carlo Gentile, but for the most part the images were shot and printed by Dally.

Hayne's Band, Victoria

Hayne's Band, Victoria

The item is a poor quality photographic reproduction on paper, probably cut from a magazine around 1940. 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.
