THE 2020 MACKAY HISTORY LECTURE - PICTURING PLACE AND THE WRITING OF HISTORY: THE LENS AND LEGACY OF FREDERICK DALLY
March 5, 2020 7:00 PM
In 1866, the young Englishman Frederick Dally opened a photographic studio in Victoria, at the time, capital of the crown colony of Vancouver Island. In the remarkable visual legacy he produced over the next four years, we can discern the origins of an enduring vision of British Columbia -- as an outpost of Empire, as a gold rush colony, as a Royal Navy station, as the home of Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest. We can also recognize the power of photography as a tool of documentation, visualization, and imagination.
