fine photographs of mt. eisenhower lodge


Recently I came upon a great set of photos at one of my favorite vintage stores. I don't know much about them... no year is printed anywhere (I'm guessing the 40's?), but they appear to be some sort of souvenir item for a lodge in Canada. Yes, I have successfully sleuthed this from reading what you can also read. Considering that they were probably intended to be nothing more than vacation album filler or strictly for show and tell, they are pretty stunning images presented on good quality paper. In fact they are quite persuasive tourism shots and I would like to go there... in my time machine, back when the lands were less spoiled and everyone seemed to look naturally swanky no matter where they were. You can see more of my favorites after the jump and even more on my Flickr.
