Bereik en inhoud
The oversize postcard provides a view of the inner harbour. There is a ship docked on the left side of the image, there is one boat in the harbour and a seaplane docked in the harbour in front of the Empress. The Johnson Street Blue Bridge can be seen in the distance. There are two buildings in the middle of the photo, the one in the back is the Post Office, and across the street to the right is the Belmont Hotel. On the bottom right corner of the postcard is the words Inner Harbour, Victoria BC. There is a crease down the middle of the postcard and there are some marks of dirt and other creases on the postcard.
The back of the postcard provides more information about what is being shown: Inner Harbour Causeway. This striking panorama, taken from the dome of the Provincial Parliament Buildings, shows Victoria Inner harbour and a section of Victoria City, looking north on Government Street. The CPR Empress Hotel appears on the right, and also seen are the Belmont Building and the Post Office. The Cenotaph, situated on the grounds of the Parliament Buildings, is a fitting memorial to the heroes of 1914-1918. Victoria, capital of British Columbia is a magic combination of modern metropolis and garden city. Photo Courtesy CNR.
From the view of an expansion and the ivy covering a portion of the Empress hotel this postcard was made around 1930s. The hotel was built in 1908, with one expansion occurring in 1910-1912 and another in 1928.
