"One of the most remarkable sights to greet visitors to Canada's Parliament Buildings is a work of stone carving in the Foyer of the House of Commons entitled the "History of Canada Series." From the open space in the centre of the Foyer, viewers raise their eyes to the mezzanine level, where images have been carved directly into the limestone on all four sides in a frieze about forty metres long and one and one-half metres high. Each of the ten groups of images consists of two panels carved in low relief, separated by a centre stone in high relief. Eleanor Milne, Dominion Sculptor from 1962 to 1993 and the creator of the work, has selected moments in the history of Canada from the earliest times to the beginning of the twentieth centurythat illustrate the events, the historical changes, the institutions, and, above all, the people that have made Canada what it is. Captured in Stone: Carving Canada's Past is a comprehensive illustrated guide to this nationa l treasure. At its centre is an image-by-image illustrated guide to the Series, in which the carvings are identified and interpreted. The introduction, by M.W. Labarge, describes the origins of the project and Eleanor Milne'sinvolvement with it and also provides a sketch of the artist's life. The d elightful description of the setting by Barbara Lambert and Eleanor Moore brings it vividly alive in the reader's imagination." - from the dj.
