Item Overview

Description

James "Jimmy" Hamilton Allen, a local photographer arrived in Nelson in 1899 and worked as a deckhand on the SS Moyie. He also worked on construction at the Hall Mines Smelter and as a machinist in Burns wood-mill plant. From 1919 until his death in 1969, Allen operated Allen’s Art Shoppe at 505 Baker Street in Nelson, a photo-finishing business which also served as a venue for marketing his own work. Between the 1920s and 50s, he created hundreds of black and white photos, and garnered acclaim for his hand-tinted prints, which can still be found in homes throughout the area. A lens into the past, Jimmy Allen’s photographs provide a portrait of Nelson over more than three decades, documenting changes in the urban landscape, as well as celebrating the lakes, rivers, mountains and country roads which he explored year round.
