Photographer William James Topley [1845–1930] accompanied Arthur Conan Doyle [1859–1930] on his family trip to Jasper National Park of Canada in 1914.

A special train was organized to take Conan Doyle, his wife, and friends to visit the area near Mount Robson. The mountain, located just over the Alberta border in British Columbia, is one of the highest and most iconic mountains in the Canadian Rockies. William Topley, the celebrated Ottawa photographer, dutifully took these photos.
