Collector/curator's description reads: “Circa 1945, Vancouver. Photo of the Trca children (l to r: David, Gordon, Roy, John and Joan). Their father, Arthur Trca, had immigrated from Bohemia, an area in the present-day Czech Republic, and lived for a time at the New World Hotel. He married a Scottish woman named Mary Shorrock. Although all smiles in this photo, family life was anything but easy. Their parents had a tempestuous relationship and, one day, their mother left. Their father, who was a longshoreman, struggled to raise the children and eventually placed them in orphanages. Years later, three of the boys would go on to become longshoreman too.”
