Condition B+: overpainted loss in text at bottom, slightly affecting image; pinholes in corners; light horizontal fold. Japan. Surrounded by the bountiful harvest of the New World, a father and his daughter are a beacon of optimism for new immigrants. Most of the encouragement for new settlers to move to Canada came from the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, who, as one of the largest landowners in the Canadian Northwest had the most to gain by new immigration. They advertised aggresively throughout Europe, attempting to get immigrants from Europe to North America to board trains and head further West. It was a competitive business and in order to compete with such majestic ships as the Cunard Line's Aquitania<>. . . Canadian Pacific Steamships launched the Empress of Britain<> in 1930.
