Alexandra Morton’s new book is a stunning portrayal of life on the central British Columbia coast. Through her striking photography, art work, and well-researched text, she presents an in-depth understanding of the coastal eco-system, as well as allowing us a glimpse into the 20 years she has spent working in the area.
 

In the years before the First World War, the daily papers used few news photographs; the technology had not been developed to the point where photos could be used on short notice in any significant number. At the same time, however, the postcard photographer could have his news photographs on the street the day after an event took place. George Alfred Barrowclough was one of these photographers.
