MN1123 LA RIVIERE - BRICK YARDS
POSTCARD

Date: Posted on January 26, 1905 from Mrs. E. McKinnon in La Riviere to Mrs. W. H. Swales in Belleview, Ontario.

Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified

Notation: The La Riviere brick yards were a boon to the local economy in the early 1900s. built in 1902, it was only in operation for about 5 years.

The back of the card shows it was printed as an undivided card - which the writer adapted to the divided back format. See:

Wow! Now you're showing off! No idea the brickworks had such a brief lifespan.

I like these early halftones -- likely locally produced (but I'm not sure). It would be good someday to do an inventory of all of the known examples, to see if we can figure out any patterns that would suggest who printed them etc.

That's why I said "someday", as in "some extremely distant day".
