Description

In words and pictures this book provides an unforgettable journey across the Canada of a century ago. From an elegant garden party at Admiralty House in Halifax to a reception at a coal baron's mansion in Victoria, Canada 1892 evokes a vanished way of life and an era that shaped a nation. Splendid paintings and photographs from 1892 are combined with modern colour pictures in remarkable "then and now" comparisons of Canadian scenes and streetscapes.

Peter C. Newman's fascinating text joins with hundreds of marvellous images to give a vivid insight into the nation of a century ago--and greater understanding of the Canada of today.
