Toronto. I got an email the other day from George Dunbar. George writes, “I’m attaching just two of the hundreds of photographs and illustrations from a wonderful 700 page book on the history of Canada.
“‘TheMuseum Called Canada, 25 Rooms of Wonder‘, with essays by Charlotte Gray, is an extraordinary book for anyone with an interest in this country and its pictorial history. Published in 2004, it’s sure to be available in our public libraries.
This remarkable book shows another example of how history can be recorded and viewed by future audiences. I wonder if anyone thought this photo would be so memorable over a century later when trains as the cutting edge of elegant travel was long past us?
