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.
