ISBN10: 1894384490, ISBN13: 9781894384490, [publisher: Heritage House Publishing Co Ltd, British Columbia] Hardcover Hardcover. With a collector's eye trained to uncover the rare, the unusual and the finest examples of British Columbia's antique postcards, authors Fred Thirkell and Bob Scullion have given readers an eclectic array of century-old photographs. The images selected for this book--the authors' fifth for Heritage House--tell 80 distinct stories that capture British Columbia as it once was. Given the tremendous popularity of postcards in that era, these images no doubt took BC's raw beauty and frontier appeal out into the world, attracting an endless parade of tourists and immigrants to the province. Features a collection of black-and-white lithograph images that were sold to the public in the early twentieth century. Documenting life in British Columbia during this period of time, each image has a story to tell, and collectively they define the state of affairs in BC a century ago. This book displays images representing 80 distinct stories. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
