Queen Marie of Roumania - Tour Through Canada 1926

Queen Marie of Roumania - Tour Through Canada 1926

I found this while looking up pictures of Queen Marie of Romania. It's remarkable for its breathtakingly boring history of Canada and CN, the depictions of the Bulgarian and two of Canada's coats of arms, and the complete absense of CPR. I'm sure Her Majesty found this a great sleeping aid on her tour.

``They had visions of a second trans­continental line extending from Moncton in the Maritimes [...] to Edmonton and on through the Yellowhead Pass[!] and the practically unexplored mountain kingdom of the Northern Canadian Rockies [...].''
