The Canadian Pacific Railway

Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) bound the Canadian nation together, November 7, 1885, completing Canada's first transcontinental railway. Today CPR operates 22,400 km (13,900 miles) of rail line in Canada and the United States.

The Canadian is a fringed cotton throw in a single layer tapestry design, reproducing a design by Roger Couillard.

The artwork of Montreal native Roger Couillard (1910-1999) first caught the eye of Canadian Pacific's publicity department in the late 1930s. In 1955, Couillard designed one of CPR's iconographic posters which depicted snow clad mountains, ice blue rivers and, of course, Canadian Pacific's premier transcontinental train at the time, The Canadian.
