Wish You Were Here showcases vintage postcards from the early 1900s, when Gustav Roedde and his family lived in a handsome Victorian home at 1415 Barclay in the West End.
Roedde House was restored in the 1980s and has been a museum since 1990, showcasing the way early Vancouverites lived.
The golden age of postcards was from 1900 to the First World War, after advances in printing technology allowed for the mass production of photographic images.
Vancouver has always been a tourist mecca, and the exhibition is filled with postcards from Stanley Park, including a rare early view of a bridge across Lost Lagoon, when it was still connected to Coal Harbour.
