'Canada From the Southeast'
One of Richard Edes Harrison’s dramatic late perspective maps, "Canada From the Southeast" tilts the continent upward from the Atlantic foreground, gathering Newfoundland, the Maritimes, Quebec, Hudson Bay, the Great Lakes, the Prairie railways, the Rockies, Alaska, and the Arctic into a single aerial prospect. Harrison later singled out the map in his Library of Congress note as “The last of the Fortune perspectives and one of my favorites”. The accompanying text, “Half of North America,” presents Canada as a sleeping continental giant: larger than all but the U.S.S.R. and China, rich in iron, oil, base metals, forests, hydropower, and territory, yet hindered by climate, terrain, and U.S. competition, but now poised for postwar industrial expansion, even to the point of building the St. Lawrence waterway alone.
