ODIN ROSENVINGE (DATES UNKNOWN) CANADIAN PACIFIC. 39 3/8x24 3/4 inches. Condition B+: overpainting along vertical and horizontal folds; repaired tears and creases in margins affecting the image. Surrounded by the bountiful harvest of the New World, a wholesome farm girl stands as 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 aggressively 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.
