Description
View of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, Saanich, British Columbia, Canada. The building, constructed by architect Edgar Lewis Horton (1868-1957) was completed in 1918. The front elevation is shown, with the dome’s shutters open.
The image is from an album of original photographs, with postcards and other pictures collected during the British Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Toronto, Canada, 1924. The album shows participants in activities of Section K: Botany. An inscription on the print states: ‘OBSERVATORY VICTORIA’.
An account of the British Association gathering, by R D’O. Good and A. B. Rendle, appeared in the Journal of Botany v.63 (1925), pp.1-9.
