Photograph of a cluster of wooden buildings set against an escarpment that has been felled of trees.
Barkerville's population grew during the Cariboo gold rush and was quickly rebuilt following the fire that destroyed the town, including Dally's own photographic studio which he had built in the town, in September 1868. Following the formation of New Barkerville on a new site in 1958, Barkerville Historic Town has largely been preserved as it appeared during the 19th century.Provenance
From an album presented to Queen Victoria by the photographer, Frederick Dally on July 6th 1883
