$50 · An Outpost of Empire - 1908 booklet promoting Victoria, BC

"An Outpost of Empire" is a promotional booklet issued by the Victoria Tourist and Development Association in 1908. The booklet is 40 pages and measures 6" x 9.25". The interior pages are glossy and the cover is made of heavy card. The booklet was aimed at both tourists and for those considering a move to Victoria, "the Evergreen City of Canada". It includes 26 photographs and numerous weather charts promoting the temperate climate. Some of the photos are particularly nice and I've included many here. There is some staining to the front cover and to the lower portion of the first couple of pages. There is some light handling wear but its otherwise in respectable condition. Please see photos for more information.
