Publisher's Synopsis
You never know quite what you'll come across in British Columbia's capital city. With its unmissable landmarks that attract people from around the world, Victoria is also rich in forested beauty, charming houses, and curious people, and is steeped in local history. Following the charm of her previous book, Hand Drawn Vancouver, in this memorable book, Emma FitzGerald captures this coastal city and its surrounding communities in over 100 sketches of: Iconic Landmarks - it wouldn't be a visit to Victoria without stopping by the Empress, Munro's, or Butchart Gardens; Local Favourites - The longstanding Beacon Drive In and James Bay's Birdcage Confectionary are some beloved spots honoured within these pages; Beautiful Architecture - Journey back in time by admiring historic buildings, like Queen Anne style homes and the spiraling Belfry Theatre; Stunning West Coast Landscape - Explore natural wonders, from culturally significant fields of camas flowers to Mystic Beach's stunning shoreline
