Portraits of Canada Photographic Treasures of the Cpr

A painstaking selection of 150 of the most thought-provoking, stunning, and sometimes quixotic images from the approximately 800,000 historic images in the Canadian Pacific Railway Archives, including momentous events in Canadian history, the social changes that swept through Canada from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries, and picturesque scenes from across Canada that were sent around the world by the CPR. These are postcards of a nation that allow us to see the country as it was, and how it was perceived by outsiders looking in.Hanna, Jonathan is the author of 'Portraits of Canada Photographic Treasures of the Cpr', published 2007 under ISBN 9781894856775 and ISBN 1894856775.
