This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the spirit of Vancouver, British Columbia, in the late 1920s. The image, taken in 1929, showcases Victory Square, a historic public space located in the heart of the city.

The Cenotaph, designed by architect Francis Rattenbury, stands proudly at the center of the square.
