Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; small scrape beside ISBN on back of cover; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; The landscape is typically seen as the overriding image of western Canada. But however fundamental the land is to life in the West, a distinctive urban culture has evolved on the Prairies since the late 19th century. In this book, the history and character of prairie cities and towns are portrayed through paintings, photographs, and commercial imagery from the period 1880 to 1960. These images and the accompanying essays address those aspects of urban civilization that are not usually depicted in the more romanticized imagery of the West, and together present a unique celebration of prairie urban culture.
