Halifax album. Leighton & Frey Souvenir View Co., [18--?] Call #: 971.622 H174 Subjects Historic buildings -- Nova Scotia -- Halifax.   Halifax (N.S.) -- Pictorial works   Halifax (N.S.) -- Buildings, structures, etc. -- History.   Halifax (N.S.) -- Buildings -- 19th century -- Pictorial works.   Halifax (N.S.) -- History -- 19th century -- Pictorial works Description:  13 folded pages joined accordian-style : ill., map ; 15 cm. Notes:  Published for the Canada Railway News Co. by Leighton & Frey Souvenir View Co., Portland, Maine. 35 illustrations on 13 folded pages. Printed on one side of one continuous sheet bound at front cover, folded accordian style. Summary:  "Canadian souvenir view albums, published from the 1880s through the 1930s, occupy a singular place in the history of Canadian bibliography. Having antecedents in the travel narratives, topographical views and guidebooks that recorded and illustrated the early periods of European exploration and settlement of the country, souvenir view albums, with their distinctive formats, a proliferation of photomechanically reproduced images, and little or no text, are peculiar to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The albums share common characteristics: The photomechanically reproduced drawings (which appear to have been based on photographic views), occasionally coloured, are printed on a single accordion-folded sheet, encased in blind stamped, sometimes gilded, cloth covers. The artists who produced the drawings for these publications are not credited."--From National Gallery of Canada website. Images from these albums can be viewed on the "Canadian Souvenir View Albums" webpage, part of Canada's Digital Collections at gallery.ca, the National Gallery of Canada website.
