CANADA - BY LOUIS HAMILTON. Published by Brentano's Publishers New York 1926 Printed in Germany. Book is oversize - 12" x 9 1/2".
This book is one of the most wonderful collections of photography one could ever ask for, at least one seeking to see a photographic record of the history and beauty of Canada. All photos black and white, most all of super interesting subject matter and of great detail. Photos are one per page, with the actual photo being about 3/4 of the page. There are nearly 300 photos in this book!
Photos in the book are grouped by province - looks like all are represented. For the Yukon - 7 views; North West Territories - 13 views; Prince Edward Island - 8 views; and then more numerous views for each of the more populated provinces. There is a separate section with exceptional views of Natives, with 12 views.
The book begins with 15 pages of narrative, providing an overview of Canadian history and description., then the rest with all the photos. Includes a wide variety of subject matter, to include fishing, tourism, farming, nature scenes, city views, etc. Photos include some of the most famous views, such as Notre Dame and the hotel at Lake Louise, along with many more less often seen scenes. Once again, a tremendous collection of photos, striking in number, quality and interesting subject matter.
Very good condition overall. Old bookplate on first blank page. Otherwise no interior markings, staining or torn or bent pages. No foxing. There are some minor library markings - not distracting. Binding is sound. All photos clear and clean. Cover and spine have slight fading, with gilt lettering still nice. See photos please.
Returns accepted with full refund if you are not satisfied. (You would need to pay return shipping.) Sorry, no sales to Canada or anywhere other than 50 U.S. states. Book will be well packaged, insured and shipped at my cost.
If you visit someone, and you see no books in their house - Run Away! Run Away!
