Description
Barkerville was the centre of the Cariboo gold rush in British Columbia in the 1860s, and played a large part in the decision to have the province join the Canadian confederation. This started as a colour slide and is my depiction of how a typical photographic print of the era may have looked. To do this, I also intentionally blurred the image to make it closer to the type of camera focus of the time.
