EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1890, offers a glimpse into the past of Victoria, the picturesque capital city of British Columbia, Canada. The image showcases the breathtaking harbor view, with its crystal-clear waters reflecting the vibrant colors of the historic buildings that line the shore. The photograph was likely taken from the inner harbor, looking out towards the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains in the distance. The grandiose Empress Hotel, a Victorian-era landmark, dominates the left side of the image, its red roof and white façade standing proud against the backdrop of the harbor. The British Columbia Parliament Buildings, with their iconic golden dome, can be seen in the center, framed by the masts of sailing ships and the sails of the steamers that once plied the waters of the harbor. The bustling activity of the city is evident in the photograph, with horse-drawn carriages and people going about their daily business. The photograph captures the essence of Victoria during a time when it was a thriving port city, attracting travelers from around the world with its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of Victoria and its storied past. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the city as it was over a century ago, and to appreciate the history and character that continues to define it today.
