Vancouver, 1792, a painting by Jim McKenzie, with Native Place Names overlaid, as seen in Donald E. Waite’s book, Vancouver Exposed, a History in Photographs. This is a remarkable reinterpretation of the map by City Archivist, Major J.S. Matthews, Indian Names for Familiar Places. The book Vancouver Exposed is available at Don’s website and at Black Bond Books, and prints of the painting on paper or canvas by Jim McKenzie (without the text) are also available here. Update: And as seen on a street mural near 265 25 Street, West Vancouver! (via Google Street View) Thanks, Robert!
