This includes images of agriculture, mining, and industry, of every province and all major cities, images of Prime Ministers from Mackenzie King to John Turner; images of a nation undergoing unprecedented growth, defining itself in an era that led inevitably to globalization.

This image of Canada served many purposes, particularly during the long years of the Cold War, when photographers affiliated with the Black Star Photo Agency made many of the photographs that defined this image and carried it outward to the world.
