The City and the Store, the cover art from a most excellent brochure from the golden age of the Woodwards Department Store, circa 1958, to commemorate British Columbia’s Centennial Year. The text in the brochure was attributed to Douglas E Harker (who incidentally was born 100 years ago), but it failed to credit the artist, who used coloured pencils or crayons to render period photographs in a precise and consistent way throughout the brochure. From the VPL Special Collections NW Hist Call #:658.871 W91ha.
