DESIGNER UNKNOWN CANADA / THE RIGHT LAND FOR THE RIGHT MAN. Circa 1925. 39 1/4x23 3/4 inches, 99 3/4x60 1/4 cm. Johnson Riddle & Co. Ltd., London. Condition A: slight offsetting and unobtrusive horizontal fold in upper image. The slogan, "The Right Land for the Right Man" was used on at least three different Canadian National Railway posters in the 1920s, each promoting the country as a fertile land ripe for farming. This image was based, quite accurately, on a photograph taken of the Prince of Wales (the young King Edward VIII) during a trip to Canada in 1923, riding at the Bar U Range Ranch.
