🇨🇦 Plot twist: the maple leaf was a Canadian icon long before it made it onto the flag.

Published in Toronto from 1905–1917, A. H. Cooper's Land of the Maple postcard series is one example, featuring scenes from across Canada.

Thirty Toronto postcards from the series are preserved in our Baldwin Collection of Canadiana, an archive of over a million historical items.

Anyone is welcome to view them in person at the Marilyn and Charles Baillie Special Collections Centre on the 5th floor of Toronto Reference Library. 👋
