I received the album today.. it is unbelievable… so beautiful... my daughter saw it and right away said it had the fleur de lys on it which is also the symbol for the province of Quebec. This album will be in a showcase with pictures from the 1880's taken on the Cascapedia River. The pictures are from an original album of Princess Louise, Queen Victoria's daughter. The exhibition is about her life called Princess Louise - A Woman of Substance. I was so pleased to find your albums, they have the look of old wealth. It will be opening this summer at the Cascapedia River Museum in Quebec, Canada. .The Cascapedia River was chosen as her summer home where she built her fishing camp - the first pre-fabricated building in Canada. The exhibition will be then travelling out west to Alberta, which was named after her. The river is considered to be one of the ten best Atlantic salmon fishing rivers in the world.
To find out more about the museum, look fo rour new site at the end of this week www.cascapedia.org or www.cascapediariver.com which is already up.
if you are ever in this part of the world, drop in and see us. Also if you would, send me an email later this spring and I will send you a pic of the album in the display. Also if you are in New York in May, we will be hosting a supper for a newly relaesed book on the Cascapedia at the Anglers Club.
thank you for your interest,
