1950's Victoria Canada Souvenir Photo Card Album: The Empress, Butchart Gardens
Here is a very nice souvenir photo album from Victoria, Canada, one of my favorite places in the world. Circa 1950's this packet features the dependable tourists attractions of the time including The Buchart Gardens, The Parliament Building (lit up!), Thunderbird Park's Indian Totems Poles, The Hadley Castle, Beacon Hill Park, Centennial Fountain, and much more....
Let's see, am I forgetting anything? Hmmmm.... Oh! My! God! Of course, my favorite landing spot in the world: The one and only Empress Hotel! Actually, there are four (4) different views of the fabulous Empress when the Canadian Pacific Railroad still owned and operated her! Tea in the afternoon and lounging on the veranda. What more could anyone want?
There are sixteen 4" X 6" glossy double sided photos in this relic of a time gone by and they are in excellent condition. Back then, if you wished to mail this packet to your envious friends it cost 2 cents (Canadian)....Priceless!
