Abstract
Arthur Vipond was one of the very few civilians to receive a
certificate of competency in photography in 1858 from the
British Department of Science and Art, England. These
certificates were apparently issued only to Royal Engineers, who
were trained at the South Kensington Museum. Vipond (who
emigrated to British Columbia with the Royal Engineers), had
been a member of the British component of the North American
Boundary Commission. Several surviving photographs of Vipond of
British Columbia are published.
