Rare 1902 Thomson's Stationary map turns up
VANCOUVER Larry Holman was intrigued by a recent Vancouver Sun classic hermes bags fake story about the 1912 Goad's Atlas of Vancouver. So he went to his closet and dug out his own antique map.
The Thomson Stationary Co. Plan of the City of Different hermes bag fake Vancouver was published on Jan. 1, 1902, a decade before the Goad's Atlas. It isn't nearly as detailed as Goad's, which shows every single building in the city. But it's all on one page, as opposed to 50 in the first volume of the Goad's Atlas.
It's a fascinating document, showing the city on the cusp of the big boom that saw the population explode from 27,000 people in 1901 to 100,000 in 1911.
Much of Kitsilano south of Broadway hadn't been divided into lots. Today's Vanier Park is labelled "Indian Reserve." The area east of Nanaimo Street isn't Vancouver, it's the "Town of Hastings."
Main Street is Westminster Avenue, Kingsway is Westminster Road, and Pender Street is only Pender west of Carrall in 1902 the street was imitiaton hermes bags called Dupont in Chinatown, and Princess further east.
The map even has the original shoreline, with False Creek extending to Clark Drive and all sorts of piers and mills along the water.
"It has often fascinated me," said Holman. "The whole waterfront is sawmills."
Holman, 73, inherited the map from his father, who received it as a Christmas present from his cousin.
"My fake hermes leather handbags cousin was the captain of a dredge, I think it was Vancouver Barge and Dredge," said Holman. "I never did find out how he acquired it. My dad passed away, so I have it. I've had it sitting in the closet for 15 plus years."
A few years ago, he made 10 copies, with the idea of selling them at a swap meet at $10 a pop. He never wound up taking it to the swap, but offered The Sun one of the copies after he saw the Goad's story.
It's a huge map, 20 inches high and 40 inches wide. The original is made out of blueprint paper, which could be easily rolled up or pinned onto a wall for easy reference.
Thomson's Stationary was one of Vancouver's pioneer businesses, popping up in the city's first directory in 1887 as Thomson Bros. Booksellers, Stationers Printers. (which stands for North West Territories, as Alberta didn't become a province until 1905). It was owned by brothers Melville and James Thomson, who ran the company until 1909. It folded in 1918.
The Vancouver Archives has scanned Thomson's maps from 1898, 1907 and 1910 and put them up online. They also have two copies of the 1902 map, but neither has been scanned.
"One of them is incomplete, and one is in really, really bad condition," said Sharon Walz of the archives. "So bad that we could never even scan it, because the pieces would start falling off."
This week Holman and his wife Ann took their map into the archives and donated it.
"They did a tremendous amount of surveying in the Vancouver area," said Walz. "In the early years of the 20th century, they were involved in a number of projects.
"They did quite a bit of surveying for the city. They also worked for what was then called the Vancouver water district, which was the precursor for the GVRD. They were also involved in some of the hydro electric surveys."
Walz said the maps are an excellent historical resource.
"You would take a look at the maps over time and see the evolution of land use in various areas," she said.
A good example is the downtown core, where the lots in the West End seem to be double the size of the lots in Yaletown/Downtown South.
