Chow Dong Hoy, a Chinese-Canadian photographer who took over 1,500 evocative portraits of First Nations, Chinese, and Caucasian subjects in the B.C. Interior during the early 1900s, was very nearly relegated to the ranks of lost history. After Hoy’s 1973 death, the negatives of his remarkable photos remained in his son’s basement for 15 years. With the son’s passing, the plates then went to Hoy’s daughter-in-law, who mentioned them to a Barkerville archivist in 1990. Historian Faith Moosang discovered the project some years later, and the resplendent result is Moosang’s First Son: Portraits by C.D. Hoy, which features a selection of Hoy’s poignant images.
