Jasper in 1926

We’ve previously seen a booklet for Jasper Park Lodge from 1924 and one about Jasper from 1927. This one, dated February 1926, is completely different from either of these. One or two photos in the 1924 edition may also be in this one, but they are cropped so differently it is hard to tell.

The cover of this one is beautifully colored, while inside the graphics are all monotoned. That doesn’t mean black-and-white, however. About half the pages have both text and graphics (including photos) in green while the other half has text in green but photos in sepia.

Though it’s not in my collection, one booklet that is similar to this one is a 1928 Jasper Lodge booklet posted on the Parks Canada history web site. Like this one, the 1928 version has a colored illustration on the cover and monotone photos inside. At 42 pages, it is longer, but the photos are not as well reproduced.
