The Oct/Nov 2012 issue of Canada’s History features a cover story on Canada’s first Prime Minister.
Here’s what the Editor, Mark Reid, says about this issue:
“Our Sir John A. cover photo is a classic shot of a complex, and often, misunderstood man. Sir John A. Macdonald’s accomplishments have been lost amid the myth of the “drunken, bribe-taking politician” image foisted on him by his enemies. Our cover story, by the respected historian Richard Gwyn, reveals the truth about Sir John A. — that he was likely our greatest prime minister.”
It is a classic, iconic shot, that can rival even the great covers of LIFE magazine. See below for classic February 1991 Lincoln cover…compare and contrast.
