Facing History
Portraits From the National Archives of Canada
This magnificent exhibition catalogue presents portraits spanning 400 years of Canadian history in paintings, drawings, prints and photographs. The cast of characters (150 works in all) is as colourful as our past and as diverse as our present. From patriot Louis-Joseph Papineau to jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, from a simple school picture to the sophisticated study of a prime minister, this volume captures qualities that constitute the Canadian personality. How better to examine the spirit of our elusive "national identity" than in the faces of our past and our present?
