A photograph album created by an unknown person, documenting the 1910 train trip completed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, as Prime Minister, across western Canada. In July and August, Sir Laurier traveled on a special Grand Trunk Pacific train from Fort William, ON to Prince Rupert, B.C. and back, returning to Ottawa September 7, 1910. He was accompanied by numerous colleagues, including his private secretary, E. J. Lemaire; Minister of Railways and Canals, George Perry Graham, M.P.; Edward Mortimer Macdonald, M.P.; and Frederick Forsythe Pardee, M.P.

The B&W photographs are captioned in white on the black paper pages of the album. The photographs are only roughly in chronological order. The owner of the album titled the first page, "The Grand Trunk Pacific Trip." The acronym "G.T.P." is used for Grand Trunk Pacific railway throughout the album. Minister Graham is identified in the photographs by the acronym "G.P.G."

Photographs include:

• Various photographs of the group chatting and milling around the train, occasionally posing for the photographer. Several of these photographs also show the train's crew.

• A large welcome sign on the bridge in Fort William, ON.

• Two photographs of the August 5th train wreck between the Laurier special train and a freight train on the C.P.R. track east of Moose Jaw between Belle Plaine and Pense. The train car is torn apart like a toy. No one in the prime minister's party was seriously injured.

Photographs showing the Doukhobors in Saskatchewan in 1902. 8 photographs, on mounts with black intersecting pointers at the corners, are distinctly captioned and numbered as belonging to a series of 10 images called "Photographic Description of the Doukhobor Invasion of Yorkton". 3 additional photographs on matching mounts are likely part of or related to this series, but are not captioned or numbered as so.

Captioned photographs include:

1. "Last night's camp before arriving at Yorkton"
2. "1600 Doukhobors marching into Yorkton, a modern exodus"
3. "Procession passing down 4th Avenue showing sick on stretchers of poles and the blind being led"
4. "Doukhobor men in the attitude of prayer on the outskirts of Yorkton after being separated from the women and children the night before"
5. "Doukhobors refusing to return to their villages, showing Government officers trying to urge them on"
6. "Leaving Yorkton on their way to Winnipeg to evangelize the world, being escorted out of town by the N.W.M.P. and officers"
7. "Pilgrims kissing each other before parting at Yorkton"
8. "Men and boys hitched to a wagon loaded with a ton of flour, leaving Yorkton."

The remaining 3 uncaptioned photographs on matching mounts show groups of Doukhobors on pilgrimage walking along roads. They appear to be taken at the same time as the captioned ones, and may include the missing photographs numbered 2 and 9, but this is unclear.

An additional series of 7 similar photographs on mounts with gilt borders is present. 6 images show Doukhobors on pilgrimage, 2 of which are captioned "Line of Pilgrims (Fort Pelly)" and "Returning from the Pilgrimage (Fort Pelly)"; remaining 1 image shows two Doukhobor women in traditional clothing, captioned "In Holiday Attire".
