After the Vancouver Great Fire photo, June 1886

Vancouver Sun journalist John Mackie published another article highlighting a couple of historical photographs he found in the newspaper's files. One is a painted version of the famous "Vancouver after fire" photo by J.A. Brock & Co. (H.T. Devine), the other photo being a vintage, original print. He quotes yours truly at the end of the article and gives a plug to my monograph Eyes of a City published by the City of Vancouver Archives in 1986, the centennial of the city.

There are obvious factual errors in the article when I looked at it on June 12, 2011 and I've alerted him to those issues in case they can be corrected in the online edition.
