Canada; from the lakes to the gulf. ... A compendium of travel ... with ... illustrations, by Captain Mac

1881 · 38 pictures

A compendium of travel through Canada from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of St Lawrence, written under the pen name Captain Mac and published in 1881 for tourists and railway and steamer passengers. The wood-engraved plates are small horizontal landscape vignettes with hand-lettered small-cap captions, ruled or rounded frames, and skies built from ruled hatching that fades to blank paper, alongside subjects like the Victoria Bridge, a Mi'kmaq camp, and lake views useful as vignette headers and map-page ornament.
