Vistas: Artists on the Canadian Pacific Railway (2009) book

I received a review copy back in July 2009 of Roger Boulet's book of the same name for the Glenblow Museum's exhibition Vistas: Artists on the Canadian Pacific Railway (June 20 to September 20, 2009). Sadly, this important exhibition, which included historical photographs as well as pieces of art, did not travel beyond Calgary, Alberta, home of the Glenbow Museum. I had provided some research assistance to Roger, chiefly around the Victoria photographer Charles Macmunn (d. 1903) who remains a research interest of ours. My self-published book Camera Workers:  The British Columbia Photographers Directory, 1858-1900 (1985) is listed in the bibliography but not my two Web sites (see the sidebar of this blog for the links to those). The book is a magnificent production. I will provide more coverage of the contents in the months to come once I've had time to thoroughly read it. The book is not available through Amazon.ca or Amazon.com and can be ordered through the Glenbow Museum Shop (offline ordering only).
