- Scope and Content
- Photograph of a class sitting at their desks. The desks are attached to the backs of the chairs. The name of the class and school is unknown. An earlier catalogue record conjectures it is probably a Burnaby school, possibly Gilmore Avenue School. The inscription in pencil of the date 1920 is of unknown origin, but the clothing styles of the students indicate this date is probably close to being correct. There are 10 girls and 22 boys in the class, unsegregated in seating arrangement. The boys are wearing dark turtle neck sweaters, some with a dark sports jacket over the sweater. The boys' hair is moppish, some parted, most not. The girls are wearing dresses (little detail visible) and long hair, some with a ribbon on top and pulled back. A black board on the right side of the students has a large map of South America drawn on it. A Red Cross Nurse's picture is above this board. The alphabet is written in large block capitals in chalk across the top of the rear blackboard. Queen Mary's picture is above this board. A female teacher is standing beneath Queen Mary. The dangling lights have conical shades. Inscribed on the negative, lower left of the print: "267." Annotations in pencil read, "1920" (front of photo, upper right) and "Mr. Tom Browning" (back of photo).

- Description
- Dress, c.1910. Black satin silk, ivory lace yoke. High collar, three quarter length sleeves, black lace, embroidery, and ruffle trim, floor length with an overskirt. The high lace collar has stays, and it continues into a yoke on the front and back. The centre front and back bodice beneath this have gathered panels, in a V shape on the back. Beneath this on the front, there are two rectangles joined by a faggoting stitch. On either side there are four round black velvet buttons, and on either side of that there is a black ruffle that extends over the shoulders to the back waist. Attached to the ruffle is a band of black lace, and on centre front below the rectangles there is a large appliquéd piece of black embroidered lace. The sleeves are fairly fitted. They are ruched and taper down to a slightly more fitted cuff, edged with gathered ribbon and a band of lace. The waist is at natural height, without any cinching. It is defined by a black ruffle on either side and a band of lace at the front and back. At centre back there is a black appliqué that is the same as the one on top of the waist at centre front. There are also three pin tucks at either side of the centre back, extending from the appliqué on the overskirt. At the centre front of the overskirt, there is a black ruffle that extends to its hem. At the hem, the ruffle curves down on either side front and angles into two square shapes at either side back. The underskirt has six gores; at calf level, the main dress fabric is attached. The bodice closes up the centre back with hooks and eyes. Beneath there is also a lining that closes separately with hooks and eyes at the centre back. It has seven featherbones encircling the top of the waist. The overskirt, underskirt, and waistband close separately with hooks and eyes at the back left.

- Description
- Dress, c.1884. Beige silk taffeta and ivory silk floral brocade, mauve trim. Bodice with low square neck, half length sleeves with ruffle cuffs. Skirt with train, drapery around hips, ruffles down front. Trousseau for wedding. The bodice is made of beige taffeta, lined with white silk twill sewn together with the main fabric. It has a low square neckline. Its half length sleeves are attached at the armscye with a corded seam, and at the cuff they have a large pleated ruffle in mauve silk taffeta lined with the same fabric as the skirt. Besides this, there is no decoration on the bodice (it is noted in the accession file that the trim is missing from the bodice). Shaping comes from two darts on either side front and six panels in the back. There is boning in each dart and one in each side seam. The bodice extends to the hips, cinching in at the waist. At the centre back of the waist there is a white silk ribbon the extends to the left, and may have also been on the right as well originally. It closes at centre front with hooks and eyes. The skirt is made of ivory brocade with a sparse pattern of small pink floral bouquets. It has a grosgrain waistband that closes with two hooks and eyes at centre back. The opening in the skirt below does not have any closures. There are six gores, all sewn together with the cotton voile lining except for the centre front seam. At the top of the skirt there is a section of drapery (also lined in cotton voile) that circles around the hips to the side backs. It is ruched at centre front in three vertical lines. Under the drapery on the right side, there is a pocket with a cotton twill bag inserted into the seam. The skirt is heavily pleated at the back, where there is also a long train. The front or the skirt, extending to the front two gores, has a thin band of mauve ribbon right under the top drapery. Regularly spaced down the front of the skirt there are two rows of mauve pleated ruffles, like those on the bodice cuffs. At the hem there is another pleated ruffle that runs its whole length, made of the main dress fabric. The bodice is entirely hand sewn. The straight seams on the skirt are sewn with a chain stitch machine, and the rest is done by hand. The seams are finished with whip-stitching where the selvedge is not used.

- Description
- Dress, c.1925-1929. Navy satin rayon. Straight cut, long sleeves, round neckline, belt, and embroidery applique. Slightly flared knee length skirt, straps hang from shoulders. There is no collar on the rounded neckline. There is a small placket closure with a snap at the left shoulder. Coming from each shoulder seam is a one inch hanging strap. It extends to the dropped waist where there is a band of art deco style embroidery appliqued to the dress. It is brightly coloured in brown, orange, yellow, blue, and navy blue. The straps are tacked down here, with three pleats hanging from the ends. A few inches above the embroidery there are thin waistband sashes sewn into the side seams. The sleeves are gathered into cuffs trimmed with embroidered ribbon in blue, pink and white on a black velvet background. It does not match the design of the band across the front. There are self fabric ties on the sleeve ends, tied at their base, but no opening in the cuff. Attached at the dropped waistline, the skirt is flared slightly in one panel, using a semi-circular flounce. The back of the dress is all one piece, without any shaping and without a break at the waistline. There is a six inch hem at the back and a small double fold at the front. Most seams are finished with pinking. A price tag on tie on left sleeve reads on one side: "18 / 139[or 137]" and on the other side: "fgg / 14.00[crossed out] / $12.00/8." This may mean it is a size eight, selling for $12.00 (marked down from $14.00).
- Object History
- This dress was part of a collection of dresses acquired from a dry goods store in the Okanagan. The dresses were mainly "new" old stock from the 1920s, from two Rand’s Dry Goods stores in Penticton and Summerland, B.C. The stores closed down in 1930. The dresses are estimated to date from circa 1925 to 1930.
