The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYPE) was a world's fair held in Seattle to publicize the development of the Pacific Northwest. The fairgrounds were designed by the Omsted Brothers landscape architecture firm and located on the campus of the University of Washington. This photo shows Canadian military bugle and drum band posing in front of the Vancouver B.C. Daily World headquarters, a structure built to replicate the Hudson Bay Co. bastion at Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. The building to the left is the Hoo Hoo House, and Lake Washington is visible in the background. Frank H. Nowell (1864-1950) was the official photographer of the AYPE, and his photographs were displayed at the fair and used in many official publications. 1 glass negative: b&w; 8 x 10 in.
