EDITORS COMMENTS
The Three Sisters: Near Banff, Alberta," captured by renowned photographer R. Gissing in 1941, presents a breathtaking view of a scenic landscape located in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. This iconic image is part of Lady Susan Buchan's book "Canada," published by Collins, London, in 1941, as part of the "British Commonwealth in Pictures" series. The photograph showcases the awe-inspiring Three Sisters mountains, a distinctive group of three peaks that rise majestically from the forested valley below. The mountains, dressed in their winter attire, are bathed in the soft, ethereal light of the early morning sun. The tranquil, turquoise-hued river meanders through the scene, adding a sense of serenity and harmony to the image. Lady Susan Buchan, also known as Susan Charlotte Grosvenor, Baroness Tweedsmuir, was a British author and poet, who, with her husband, William Collins, founded the Collins publishing house in 1819. Her book "Canada" was a testament to her deep appreciation for the natural beauty of the British Commonwealth. R. Gissing, the talented photographer, skillfully captured the raw, untouched beauty of the Canadian wilderness, offering viewers a glimpse into the awe-inspiring landscapes that lay beyond the shores of England. The image is a timeless reminder of the power and majesty of nature and the importance of preserving it for future generations. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of both Canada and Britain during the 1940s. It is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the natural world was still largely untouched by the trappings of modern civilization.
