NOVA SCOTIA, A Camera Tour of Canada's Ocean Playground, by The Nova Scotia Department of Trade and Industry, is a mid-century promotional viewbook designed to entice postwar travelers to explore the province by automobile.
Blending vivid color plates with black-and-white photography, the 52-page publication takes readers on a visual journey across Nova Scotia’s distinct regions, from the dramatic coastal cliffs of Cape Breton and the Cabot Trail to the picturesque fishing coves of the South Shore and the fertile farmlands of the Annapolis Valley. Alongside its scenic landscapes, the booklet highlights historic landmarks, traditional Maritime crafts, local festivals, and outdoor recreation such as deep-sea fishing and yachting, capturing a nostalgic, idealized snapshot of 1950s Canadian tourism.
