EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the bustling harbor of Victoria, British Columbia in the early 1900s. The Belmont Building, Union Club, and Empress Hotel stand proudly against the backdrop of a vibrant blue sky and shimmering waters. The image captures a moment in time when water transport played a vital role in connecting this picturesque city to the rest of Canada. Moored boats line the quay, their colorful flags fluttering in the breeze. Among them is the iconic Union Jack flag, symbolizing British influence on Canadian soil. This visual representation speaks volumes about Canada's historical ties to its colonial past. The Belmont Building and Union Club dominate the foreground with their grand architecture, exuding elegance and sophistication. These structures not only served as landmarks but also housed important communications facilities that facilitated connections between people near and far. In contrast to these magnificent buildings stands the majestic Empress Hotel, an epitome of luxury accommodation during that era. Its presence adds an air of opulence to this already enchanting scene. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, we are transported back in time to witness a bygone era where transportation was still largely reliant on waterways for trade and travel. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring our rich heritage rooted deep within these historic buildings and charming coastal landscapes.
