Face off!

It’s Victoria vs Vancouver in these first photos of Canadians playing field hockey, circa 1891-1901

I discovered these old black and white photographs in the archives of the University of British Columbia Library, Uno Langmann Collection.

Taken at the turn of the century, I thought they’d be a great addition to my Inspiring Women page.

Move the slider back and forth to compare the before photos with my restored, colourized versions. I would love to hear your feedback in the comments section at the end of the post!

Setting the tone

I particularly enjoyed colourizing this close-up of the Victoria women’s field hockey team, giving their opponents - the Vancouver team - a menacing stare!
