Biographical history
Frederick Dally, 1838-1914, was born in Northamptonshire, England, and emigrated to British Columbia in 1862. He opened a photographer's studio in Victoria at Fort and Government streets, and in 1867 went to the Cariboo and took photos of the area. He opened a second studio in Barkerville but eventually sold his business to the Green Brothers in 1870. He went to the Philadelphia College of Dentistry in 1870 and graduated in 1872. For further information see Andrew Birrell's article, "Frederick Dally : Photo Chronicler of BC a Century Ago" in Canadian Photography (February 1977).
