"In this travelogue the publishers have endeavored to record by word and picture the highlights of the Royal Tour of Their Majesties King George and Queen Elizabeth through Canada, devoting particular attention to the royal progress throught the Maritime Provinces." -Foreword from the book.
1939 ROYAL TOUR BOOK OF CANADA; MARITIME EDITION, actually gives the reader coverage coast-to-coast, with dispatches from the Dominion of Canada far-and-wide, as it could only occur in 1939. Brimming with many Black & White photographs, some full page, every detail of the royal tour is covered. And for those who love antique advertising, the book is a 'whos-who' of Maritime business advertisements (Like Keith's Brewery!) because everyone wanted to be a part of this amazing book.
This book was a MARITIME WAR VETERAN ROYAL TOUR EDITION BOOK, sponsored by the Vimy Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion in Halifax, and there is a very touching letter inside to all the Canadian Veterans thanking them for their service...from King George Himself! (pg. 117). Printed in Canada.
