Description

Photograph of Mertie West standing on a large terrace at the Banff Springs Hotel. Mertie West stands in the foreground, right-of-center. She faces left and wears a coat draped over her shoulders. The balcony she stands on extends behind her through the foreground and mid-ground. Lounging chairs are grouped in clusters on the near side of a stone parapet that lines the back perimeter of the terrace. Other hotel guests stand along the parapet and look past it. Beyond the terrace, Mount Rundle stretches across the background.
