Are there other pictures in a Book or Archives somewhere ? Our father Norman Byers,was quite well known in Vancouver as a Plasterer, he did quite a bit of Decorative work. He made a Life Size Plaster Lion for Spencers [later Etons]parade the Men coming home from war 1942, it was on Display at the Forum [PNE] for years, then the Lion was put in a Cage at the foot of Pendrell St. as a tourist attraction. It started to get into a poor state, the B.C. Lions took it over in the early 1950’s got our father to repair it and it was painted Gold, used for the B. C. Lions Parade each fall and the PNE Parade end of Summer for years. He also made a Table Lamp & Shade, that was made for B C Electric in 1939. It was in the Forum and used as a information booth. I believe it was wired up and worked. He did many other projects as well, but those were the two most well known.
