As photography emerged in the early 19th century to deliver a level of realism the world had never seen, those who sought to recreate Canada's vastness using a lens found even this latest technology could not capture the full scope of the scenery that lay before them.
Finally, success! Canadian John R. Connon's inventionof 1887 was one in a flurry of technological innovations that enabled this new generation of artists tocapture a vast image on film—from 180 to a full 360 degrees!
Just like the early adventurers that had trekked hundredsmiles and scaled colossal heights, photographers triumphed over Canada's seemingly unconquerable landscape, bringing a true sense of this stunning world to those who could not venture there—a vision that propelled photography throughout the 20th century and reigns to this day.
Feel a part of this great discovery with this exquisite new coin.
