    A collection of Canadian souvenir view albums, published from the 1880s through the 1930s.
    Having antecedents in the travel narratives, topographical views and guidebooks that recorded and
    illustrated the early periods of European exploration and settlement of the country, souvenir view albums,
    with their distinctive formats, a proliferation of photomechanically reproduced images, and little or no text,
    are peculiar to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
