Title: The Triangle Tour of British Columbia Canada - [Map] Supplement to the Canadian Rockies Folder
Description: Canada: Canadian National Railways [CNR], 1927. First Edition. Map. 62 x 43.5 cm one-sided colour pictorial map reduces to 22.5 x 10 cm when folded inside original blue card cover lettered in black. Illustrates the route of the CNR's Triangle Tour of British Columbia which included "Jasper National Park, Mount Robson Park, the Canadian Rockies, and the scenic seas of the North Pacific coast." Without saying so, the right side of the map switches scales so as not to display Lake Louise, a prime tourist attraction of rival railway Canadian Pacific. Includes eight sepia-tone photos of sights of interest along the way. Clean and unmarked with light wear. A well-preserved copy of this excellent piece of vintage Western Canadian tourist ephemera.
