Beschreibung

A circa 1920s, 8 x 10 inch wide, silver gelatin photograph mounted into a 12 x 14 inch wide card mount with "McGregor / Nelson, B.C." stamped in blind at lower right corner. Appearing to capture a school field trip, we reckon that the house and fruit trees are somewhere along the west arm of Kootenay Lake, possibly near Procter. We note three children with school bells and two with whistles, perhaps to call their respective classes into order, or to accompany the Nelson Kilties Band who were then currently playing in the back left corner of the image. We also note the presence of a Black youth in the front row near the right edge, likely one of the Jones brothers (William or John) whose family was then living in Nelson until 1921, when they moved to Trail, BC. Card mount w. minor edge wear, else a fine image by a professional photographer then working in Nelson. An interesting photo with uncommon content. Ref, Ancestry dot ca.
