Stanley Park c 1910-1910 by Philip Timms
Toronto. About three years ago I did a post on Stanley park’s beautiful and massive old trees showing an ancient (today) automobile nestled in the trunk. Here you see another huge tree, this time shrouding a horse and rider!
The glass plate negative was taken by photographer Philip Timms. The Timms font is held by the Vancouver Public Library, one of our long time members. Timms is also represented in the City of Vancouver Archives collection.
A big thanks to George Dunbar, a fellow PHSC member for sharing this beautiful and historic find from Canada’s great west coast city of Vancouver.
NB. The title of this post is a riff on the famous quote by Henry Stanley when he came upon Dr Livingstone deep in Africa in 1871 (Dr Livingstone, I presume?).
