Free farms for the million
ca. 1893
The Department of the Interior and travel companies
with a vested interest in settling the Prairies sometimes
joined forces to produce posters that promoted western
immigration. The one shown here was printed on a lithographic
press, a method which allowed bright colours and variations
in tone. The poster includes an advertisement for the
Canadian Pacific Railway and features vignettes showing
five government-run experimental farms.
