It was Canada’s first passenger rain to glass-domed observation cars, offering spectacular views.Cruise the Great Lakes, after the work of Tom Purvis, circa 1937Created for Canadian Pacific, this poster promotes the breezy glamour of pleasure cruising on the Great Lakes. In the early 20th century, companies such as Canadian Pacific began to offer multi-day pleasure cruises as a way for vacationers to both relax and visit multiple destinations along the route.The Royal York, by Norman Fraser, circa 1935This poster was commissioned to advertise the Royal York (now the Fairmont Royal York), the stately Canadian Pacific hotel that opened in downtown Toronto in June 1929. Shown here from the vantage point of Union Station, the 28-storey hotel was the tallest building in the city and the largest hotel in the British Empire at the time.Mont Tremblant, by Herbert Bayer, 1939This poster was commissioned to promote the glamour and excitement of skiing at the newly opened Mont-Tremblant resort, in Quebec. American explorer and entrepreneur Joseph Bondurant Ryan saw the potential for the resort after climbing the mountain in 1937, and opened it two years later.Canada’s Picturesque East Coast, by Peter Ewart, circa 1950This poster was commissioned by the CPR to promote travel to the east coast, highlighting three seaside CPR resort destinations: St. Andrews by-the-Sea, New Brunswick; Digby, Nova Scotia; and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia (whose original Cape Forchu lighthouse tower is featured on the poster, superimposed on a sandy beach). St. Andrews (marketed as St. Andrews-by-the-Sea) became a resort town in the late 1800s and by the 1930s was a popular destination. The CPR rebuilt Digby’s The Pines in the late 1920s/early 1930s and constructed an 18-hole golf course. Located on the southern tip of Nova Scotia, Yarmouth attracted visitors travelling by steamship from the northeastern United States.
