Jasper Park Lodge in 1930

Here’s another Canadian National booklet about Jasper that is not from my collection. I downloaded this one from archive.org. I didn’t like the way they had laid it out, so I cleaned it up a little and made it into a new PDF. The booklet they scanned was bound in a hard cover, so a fraction of the interior could not be copied. Fortunately, that only affected the front and back cover; notice the “C” in “Canadian National” is partly cut off.

The booklet has a more lively layout than yesterday’s from 1928. While most of the pages in the 1928 booklet had a half-page square photo and a half-page of text, this one has photos cut into a variety of shapes, with sometimes one and sometimes several photos per page. I don’t know why it was once popular to use electrically bright colors to represent nature, as shown on the front and back covers, but we’ve seen it before on some Burlington booklets from the same era.
