A propos de cet article

Canada Mapped at the Dawn of the Railway Age A 1907 Baedeker guide to Canada and Alaska, issued during a formative moment in North American travel when rail expansion and tourism were rapidly reshaping access to the region. This English-language edition reflects Baedeker's international reach and the growing importance of transcontinental travel. The guide provides detailed routes, accommodations, and regional descriptions, supported by 13 maps and 12 plans, including a large folding railway map of Southern Canada as frontispiece. This edition includes one of the earliest Baedeker references to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway-then only partially constructed-and expands coverage of Alaska, marking increased interest in northern travel following late-19th-century exploration and development. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Publisher's red cloth with gilt titles. 12mo travel format. Pagination: lxiv, 331 pages. Illustrated with 13 maps and 12 plans, including large folding railway map frontispiece. CONDITION: Bindings are tight and secure. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. Front free endpaper excised; all maps and plans present, including the large folding railway map. HISTORICAL CONTEXT / SIGNIFICANCE - Baedeker guides represent the gold standard of late 19th- and early 20th-century travel literature, combining precision, practicality, and durability. This Canadian volume reflects a transitional moment: railways extending into new territories, tourism expanding beyond established European circuits, and Alaska emerging as a destination of interest. The inclusion of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway-still under development-illustrates how Baedeker captured travel infrastructure in real time. Likewise, the expanded Alaska section signals shifting geographic curiosity among travelers of the period. The guide's compact format and dense information reflect its intended use as a working tool rather than a narrative travel account. Edited by J. F. Muirhead, who continued Baedeker's legacy after Karl Baedeker's death, this volume belongs to the mature phase of Baedeker production. English-language editions such as this were designed for British and American travelers and differ in content emphasis from their German counterparts. SUBJECTS: Baedeker Guides, Canada Travel, Alaska Travel, Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, Early Tourism, Railway Expansion, Travel Maps, Newfoundland, Travel Guide, Americana, Exploration.
