• Notes

  STATUS: Commercial. BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY: Primarily known as a postcard photographer, he lived in Glacier, BC, as early as 1907 when he applied to the BC government for a special timber license. When he married in Vancouver in 1906 he gave his residence as Banff, AB, and occupation as contractor. His bride lived in Glacier. After returning to Vancouver in the 1910s, he appears to have retained a connection with Glacier through guiding work and employment by the Canadian Pacific Railway. By 1918 he was listed in the business directory as a photographer for Camera and Arts, then as a bookkeeper and clerk. The 1924 business directory lists him as a bookseller from which he retired in 1928 according to his death registration record. IDENTIFYING MARKS: Verso of postcard may be marked "S.H. Baker, Glacier, B.C." or "S.H. Baker, Publisher, Glacier, B.C. No. 519". FORMATS: Postcards.
