POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Unposted Publisher / Photographer: Published by S. J. Farmer, Brandon. Notation: "A Merry Christmas" is imprinted in Red on the upper left corner.The scene is a real photo image and, while it is subtle, it has also been colourized.

POSTCARD Date: Posted August 1, 1905. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: The card was posted from Brandon, but there is nothing obvious in the image or in any text that confirms that this image was taken there. This was some kind of public event. Hard to see in the image, there is the side of a large tent to the left side of the image. (just behind the two girls in the foreground, a large wooden stake is holding down a guy-wire.) The seller of this postcard indicated that first nations people were pictured. I am not so certain. The women in the back centre, I think, could also be wearing clothing from eastern Europe.

POSTCARD Date: Posted, but date unclear. Publisher / Photographer: Halpin's Drug Store Notation: On November 4, 1910 the Mantoba's Brandon Asylum for the Insane was completely destroyed by fire. Over 700 patients and staff were safely evacuated. One woman, a patient, somehow separated from the group and perished from exposure.
