Edward C. Adams

Edward Adams worked as a photographer at C.W. Bart's studio in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1896 and later moved to Nanaimo, British Columbia, to become a partner in the Adams & Pierce Studio.¹⁾

In the winter of 1897/98, Pierce and Adams opened a studio in Seattle. P.E. Larss found work with them, making deliveries and running errands, until March 1898 when Larss left for the Klondike.²⁾ When Adams came north, he and George W. Larkin worked as Adams & Co. photographers in Bennett, British Columbia in 1898. They moved on to Dawson and operated as Adams and Larkin circa 1898 – 1903.³⁾ Adams & Co. operated in Dawson until 1915. Adams’s photographic equipment was later purchased by the Dawson photographer E.O. Ellingsen. The University of Washington holds some sixty prints taken by Adams singly or by the partnership of Adams & Larkin. The subjects include Dawson and mining, 1901-1910.⁴⁾
