Mt. Rundle, Banff, Alta. [back with Albertype Co. pricing]

Albertype Co.'s Sepia-Delft process described and priced in great detail. It may be that the similar series of cards produced by Russell Lang & Co. and others were really made by Albertype Co. The large Winnipeg viewbook sold by Russell's bookstore was produced by Albertype, so there was definitely a connection between the Russell company and Albertype.
