The Oxonian ‘54 (Yearbook of the Earl Oxford School). Part of a larger collection of period yearbooks we had the pleasure of processing and ultimately depositing with the National Archives. This was likely the “master” copy from which additional copies were duplicated. A relatively unusual publication to be produced for a lower grade level during this period (in this instance for a Brandon area Junior High School).

Filing this in my ever growing pile of #thingsfoundinbooks. None so charming though as this 1920’s manuscript ode to a restless squirrel by a young Mary Mistal of Brandon, Manitoba.

Pretty frisky squirrel
Jumping high in air,

Detail of an illustration from ‘Golden Phoenix’ by Princess Der Ling, one time lady-in-waiting and interpreter to Empress Dowager Cixi of the late Qing Dynasty.

Western Canada as the Camera Sees It.

Canadian Pacific Railway, Company Department of Colonization and Development]; M.E. Thonrton (Superintendant of Colonization).

[Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada]: Canadian Pacific Railway Company, Department of Colonization and Development, N.D. [Circa 1927-1928?]. First Edition, First Printing. Unpaginated [pp. 24]. Oblong 12mo., measuring 14 x 22 cm. Illustrated, twice-stapled covers. Published by the Canadian Pacific Railway Co., Department of Colonization, as part of their efforts to recruit farmers and settlers in Western Canada in the early part of the 20th century. Comprises of twenty-one sepia-tone captioned photographs each capturing in remarkable detail various agricultural scenes throughout the Canadian Prairies. One (barely perceptible) short closed tear to the front cover, else, near fine; contents uniformly without blemish with bright, clean, and unmarked leaves. Overall, near fine. Corresponds to Peel 2198, which states a possible publication date of 1895 though this is likely too early. See also OCLC #464429637. Rare in commerce. (#6574)
