Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This album featuring photographs of the Canadian Rockies, Fraser River, and Yellowstone Park is a typical </span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/memory-and-identity/1900-to-1969/souvenir-books">souvenir album</a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that contributes to </span>“<a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/memory-and-identity"><span style="font-weight: 400;">imagined geographies</span></a>” <span style="font-weight: 400;">of a place, much like the album </span><em><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3056">CPR 1887</a></em><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. <br /><br /></span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The album's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObveSq3cMkw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">albumen prints</a>, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">some of which were taken by <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3154">William Notman</a> & Son’s photographic studio</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, were assembled between 1888 and 1914, and were pasted onto the album’s pages individually.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">These photographs likely circulated in other contexts as well, in other albums or as standalone pictures. </span></p>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Though these pictures are photographic and record actual spaces, the decisions that the photographers made in creating these views rely on artistic conventions for representing landscape, such as the conventions of the <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3052">picturesque</a> and the <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3147">sublime</a>. They therefore fit easily within fine art traditions. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you explore additional examples of landscape photographs included in this exhibition, you will notice many more photographs with similar compositions. </span>
