Description
Antique 1927 sepia-tone photographic postcards featuring two scenic views of the Capilano River area in British Columbia. The first postcard, titled "Capilano River and Lions," captures a picturesque mountain landscape with towering evergreen trees and the distinctive snow-capped Lions peaks in the distance. The second postcard, titled "Capilano River, Vancouver, B.C.," showcases the river flowing through a rugged rocky gorge surrounded by natural rock formations and forested scenery.
Both postcards feature photographs by renowned Canadian photographer Leonard Frank, with a 1927 copyright date printed on the reverse. Published by Importex Company of Vancouver, B.C., and printed in Germany. These original antique postcards offer a fascinating glimpse into British Columbia's natural landscapes during the early 20th century, making them appealing collectibles for Canadian history, photography, and vintage postcard enthusiasts.
