Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving offers a glimpse into the historical richness of Vancouver Island and British Columbia. The image showcases various scenes that depict the diverse topography and life in this area. From the bustling streets of New Westminster to Indian villages nestled amidst primeval forests, every detail is meticulously captured.
