Sometimes a great nation: A photo album of Canada, 1850-1925

A selection of photographs from the holdings of the Canadian archives which recounts the 75 year period in which the nation and self-image of Canadians were formed. "This is the kind of book that renews one's faith in the power of photographs to amaze and reveal in a way completely unique to the medium. . .this is a book which transcends its immediate subject matter to become a publication of world class and universal appeal."--British Journal of Photography.
