The Canadian in 1961

Except for the cover and the date, this brochure is identical to the 1959 Canadian brochure. The cover art is in the same style as a series of booklets Canadian Pacific issued about its hotels in 1960 and 1961.

These illustrations all seem to be watercolors and I can find no sign of an artist’s name on any of them. The hotel booklets have six to seven illustrations each, and it appears that only one was used in more than one brochure. Since CP had fifteen hotels at the time, it may have needed been close to a hundred different illustrations in these booklets and other advertising. I suspect they were done by an in-house artist.
