Winnipeg Buildings - Upper Fort Garry & Gate

POSTCARD Date: Posted March 5, 1912 from St. Paul, MN to Stanley Allan McKay in Syracuse, NY Publisher: W. I. Clubb, Winnipeg & Victoria #470 Notation: Colouring on Clubb cards is virtually identical to the unique colouring on EATON cards. Both publishers have similar unlcear image numbering on the front. The reverse sides are printed almost identically in green ink - Clubb has double dividing lines, EATON cards have single lines. No printer is identified on Clubb cards but C. S. Co. is recognized on EATON cards - likely they printed both? Of particular interest in the image: Card is numbered on the front but very difficult to decipher. appears to be #A.83032.

Unposted. Publisher: Warwick Bro's & Rutter #674 I like the visual appeal of this lithographed card - the image of the Fort Garry Gate, framed by depictions of the prairies, Rockies, Niagara Falls, and Parliament (Ottawa).

POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Unposted. Publisher / Photographer: L. J. De Nobele, Winnipeg #37 Notation: I was quite pleased to find this card as it was previously unknown to me. It is part of what my friend Wintorbos and I have come to call the second series of De Nobele's postcard printings. This postcard has been used as an advertising card for a business in Belgium. The full reverse side is printed with a promotional message from the P. Daenen-Peters store.

POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Not Posted. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: Great image of the vine-covered gate, hoar frost adorning the shrubbery and the Hotel Fort Garry looming in the misty background.

POSTCARD Date: Posted September 20, 1910 Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: Appears to be an error in the title. This is Upper Fort Garry.
