Hi Shannon.

Yup, CA did contact me with this photo, but you provided more info. Thanks!
I’ve received responses from 7 Lower Mainland museums & archives. Encouraging.

> The SHFCB is doing research on a Vancouver photographer, Alphonse Savard, who operated Imperial Photo Studio during the 1880s-1900s. But then he seems to have gone to work at Britannia Beach, though in an unknown capacity.

> Savard took several photos of members of the Chinese community, of sports groups and beauty queens, along with the regular walk-in clients. One of his photos appears on the cover of Brokering Belonging: Chinese in Canada’s Exclusion Era, 1885-1945, by Lisa Rose Mar.
