Canadian National 1946 Jasper Booklet

If Jasper was closed during the war, this was the first CN booklet about the park since 1942. The booklet barely mentions the war except to brag that the entire golf course was rebuilt during that troubled time.

Aside from the wraparound cover, this booklet has four “natural color” photos. One shows the lodge and cabins from Lake Beauvert. A second shows a gravel road with Mount Edith Cavell in the background. The third shows Lake Maligne. Finally, there is a Jasper Park Lodge motorcar with chauffeur escorting a young couple to the Columbia Icefield. More than three dozen black-and-white photos are also included. Over the next ten years, color would gradually replace more and more black-and-white photos in CN’s Jasper booklets.
