Assorted travels

The item consists of one album containing five titled and dated sections of photographs:

  1. “A trip to the continent March-April 1900,” includes views of France and Italy. Large photographs were likely purchased during travels and include a number and the name of a photographer’s studio. There is pressed plant material “From Hadrian’s Villa” on page 3.

  2. “Port Townsend Cruise (in “Dorothy”) July 1900” includes views of various sailing vessels, many are identified.

  3. “Cruise to Nanoose Bay (in “Dorothy”), Sept 1902” includes photographs of house exteriors, sailing vessels, and unidentified women and men.

  4. “Duck shooting expedition to Douglas Lake (via Kamloops), October 1903” includes outdoor group portraits of identified men and one woman, building exteriors, and transportation by horse and boat.

  5. “A trip to Cassiar, 22nd Aug. to 2nd Oct 1904” includes views of landscapes, river boats, outdoor group portraits of partially identified men, and animal trophies. A “Memo of dates” and “Synopsis of hunting tip to Eagle River, 1904” are written on two of the pages. The collection ends with two full-page hunting photographs.

Numerous album pages are unused.

All photographs are captioned in black ink.

“(All photos (except large full plate[s]) taken with Kodak by WHL)” is written in pencil in the top left of the first album page, probably by Archives staff.
