Written by Janice Weaver. Published by Tundra Books, 2007. Description: |
| Mirror with a Memory is a photographic
journey through the history of Canada. It includes those famous shots that have
defined a nation; from the Fathers of Confederation grouped stiffly on the
steps of Charlottetown’s Confederation Hall to the massive Maple Leaf flag
drifting over the heads of federalists on the eve of the last referendum. But
the book also features the faces of ordinary Canadians going about their
everyday lives — a family of newly arrived, turn-of-the-century immigrants
on the platform at Toronto’s Union Station; a line of 1920s seal hunters
picking their way across the Newfoundland ice floes; pith-helmeted soldiers at
a Boer War field hospital in Bloemfontein, South Africa. Through extended captions and, of course, the photographs themselves, Mirror with a Memory brings to life the story of Canada from confederation to the present day. In the end, it gives us an unforgettable portrait of the people and events that forged a nation. |
