A Civil Engineer’s Photographic Eye

John Barber Holdcroft (1884 – 1975), lived in North Vancouver for most of his life. He came to North Vancouver during the First World War (1914-1918) to serve with the 6th Field Engineers. This exhibit is a small selection of photographic prints made from the Holdcroft Collection, which actually contains over 700 negatives. They provide a glimpse into family life, engineering activities and rare moments in North Vancouver.
