BRITISH COLUMBIA ARTISTS |
The volume contains 32 pages of advertising; 8 pages of "front matter"; 160 pages of tributes, poems, photographs, illustrations, and many Rolls of Honor; and an additional 16 pages of photographs inserted throughout the text. There are numerous original works of art reproduced in the volume, including works by many early and prominent Vancouver artists. The volume thus serves as a virtual compendium of illustrators working in Vancouver at the end of World War One, including many whose graphic work is otherwise almost unknown. A second volume of The Gold Stripe was issued in May 1919, carrying on the same themes of tribute, thanks, and remembrance.
Because of the extensive amount of information in the volume, the numerous references to exhibiting artists, and the many examples of their work, it seemed worthwhile to create a table of contents to the volume (particularly since the volume does not otherwise have one). Where two names are listed in the Author/Artist column below, the first is the author and the second the illustrator of the work. In page numbering, o indicates an unnumbered photograph opposite a numbered page.
