Summary:
Maps have been invaluable throughout Canada's history. They promised fame and fortune to early merchant-adventurers and guided army commanders. They legitimized a politician's dominion and allowed businessmen to stake new claims. And they helped ordinary citizens build communities. "Terra Nostra" celebrates the mapping of Canada, in part by telling the stories of the exceptional individuals who helped to create the maps. Drawn from the cartographic holdings of Library and Archives Canada, it spans four centuries - from the portolan charts of the early explorers to recent aerial images of east coast ice floes. Jeffrey S. Murray is senior archivist at Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa.

Written for the exhibition of the same name, this essay is more than an exhibition catalogue. The author has chosen to engage in a reflexion on the aesthetic genre of landscape based on recent works by Quebec photo artists. His thought closely follows these artists as part of a critical approach that re-examines the genre. And because this work is also an exhibition catalogue, the author's reflection progresses to a conclusive act whose finale lies in the works presented in the exhibition.

It is a strange practice, and appears to be due to the fact that he is deaf and unhappy about this defect. But presently it transpires that his deafness is only pretended; the real reason is that he has an active and aggressive wife from whom he seeks refuge. He wears a little hearing apparatus in his ear, even when he is sleeping in the afternoon; it turns out that it is not a hearing apparatus at all, but a device with which he is conducting experiments. It produces a kind of ray which effects the brain and causes sleep accompanied by delightful dreams.

It was published in this country (England) by Scribner's and had a considerable success. It is the story of a hard-working and serious-minded chemist who devotes himself to the problem of making synthetic sugar. Not being a chemist myself, I do not know how plausible Mr Large's formulas and processes would sound to a technical man, but they are convincing to the lay reader, and by the time we see the first supply of "Sunsap" coming out of the vats we believe in it, and are prepared to see the food industry revolutionized. But we have forgotten the profit-takers. Mr Large's hard-working chemist finds himself and his process tied into knots by the financiers." Upton Sinclair
