This stunning book contains the images of Stephen Sylvester Main, an amateur photographer who chronicled the world around him between 1898 and the 1920s, and combines them with the fascinating historical insight of Martyn G. Pullin. A century ago rural Canada was undergoing dramatic change. The world of the pioneers- of log cabins and ancient forests-still survived in Sylvester's time, but it was being swept away by the new machines, industries and farming methods that would characterize the 20th century. Main captured this age of transition and the lives of the people who lived through it- their feasts and festivals, their work, interests, hobbies and fashions. Through the engaging and informative accompanying text of Marty G. Pullin these pictures are further illuminated, explaining the lost ways of life that existed across North America only a century ago. Lavishly produced, with over 200 of Sylvester's photographs. "Life In The Country" documents the vitality of a rural life in Canada at the dawn of a new age.
