Photographs:

This photo was taken in the Yucho Chow Studio, 518 Main St. Vancouver, BC. The writing indicates that it is a group of clergymen but no other identification is made. Yucho Chow Studios was one of two Chinese portrait studios in Vancouver during the early 1900s. This photo is not dated. It was difficult to get a picture of this photograph as it is too large for the scanner.
