Trio Photographers: Early Canadian Studio in Victoria, B.C.

The envelope was sent to "Trio Photographers, Victoria, B.C., Canada." This is a photography firm located in Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, Canada. Although not certain, it is believed that the firm was initially established in Vancouver, Canada, in 1903 by Ernest Crocker (1877-1968) and two British immigrants, later moving to Victoria, B.C., Canada. The "Via New York" phrase on the envelope indicates that the envelopes frequently traveled through New York, a commonly used route at the time for sending mail to Canada.
