In 1892 many of the buildings Canadians know best - from Queen's Park in Toronto to Quebec's Chateau Frontenac - were going up. But 1892 and the late Victorian era it represents shaped more than just the character of our cities. This lavish volume blends text with period paintings, and juxtaposes marvellous archival photographs with modern colour pictures of the buildings and places of the age, to recreate the era that fixed the character of the country we know today"---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo /// SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE/// ---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch)---.
