• Notes

  STATUS: Amateur. BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY: Believed to have arrived in Victoria in 1858 with the Royal Engineers as a civilian and armed with a photographer's certificate he had earned in England at the same institution that trained the Royal Engineers in photography, he appears not to have practiced professionally. Surviving views of Fort Victoria, including a multi-part panorama, are among the earliest in existence. He was listed in the 1874 and 1877 directories as a machinist and gunsmith.
