Calgary, the City Phenomenal
Description
The photographs included in Calgary, the City Phenomenal help support the claim that Calgary is "the continent's fastest growing city" by emphasizing modern aspects of the city. The selection of photographs includes a train crossing an overpass, large and imposing buildings—including a city hall with a clocktower resembling London's Big Ben—a lineup of automobiles outside a firehall, and views of "a few of Calgary's many industries."
