Frederick Dally came to Victoria, V. I. in 1862 and practiced as a
professional photographer from 1866 to 1870. His photos are very well
known, but he is almost unknown. =20

=20

His photos include those taken at Victoria, Esquimalt, Vancouver Island
(incl. Barclay Sound), New Westminster, Yale, Lytton, Clinton, Bonaparte
River and Williams Creek. He set up a studio in Barkerville - 2 weeks
before the town burned down. Subjects include businesses, ships, scenes,
First Peoples, mining etc. Of special interest are the original
photographer's captions for the photos.=20

=20

I was pleased to see a famous photo of "Nine of the greatest chiefs in
British Columbia" as Irving House is in the right rear of the photo and
the picture was taken about 20 feet from my office. If anyone knows more
about the event I would like to hear about it.=20

=20

The article mentions that Joan Schwartz of Queens University is writing
a book about Mr. Dally and I have now written to her. =20

=20

I found copies of the Canadian Geographic July-Aug 2008 magazine in
"Chapters" in Langley. Gayle Cornish of the Osoyoos Museum, who told me
about the issue, says there are no copies left in the Okanagan due to
another article about the OK area.=20
