Description: Here is a panorama of the Vancouver waterfront, circa May, 1886. The three images are from the City of Vancouver Archvies, and I have stitched them together, with a little bit of dodging and burning. The third image is showing quite a lot of wear unfortunately, but the view is remarkable. In a month's time, pretty much the entire city you can see here is burnt to the ground. For more on H.T.

This image was originally featured in a story in the Sun & Province in July 2016, but the story was pulled not long after (posted prematurely). It reappeared in early August here: vancouversun.com/news/local-news/the-vancouver-waterfront... However, the third image in this copy of the print is in much better condition than the negative: wpmedia.vancouversun.com/2016/07/panorama-01_228871062.jp...
