Destination Belgium

Back, with addressee in Mont St-Amand. This is one of the three types of back that L.J. De Nobele used for the series of sixty (or more) postcards issued in 1905-06 at Winnipeg.

MacFarlane card HA.110. The stamp has been removed but there is enough of the cancellation to show that it was sent or received in December 1906. The message on the front is presumably in Flemish. The sender is J. B. Vigneron of St. Boniface and the recipient appears to be a Mr. St. Elfons Van de Broeck (?), "school master"), Lovenjoul by Leuven, Belgium. The handwriting is difficult to read. The card is quite intricately coloured, making for a convincing overall effect. Same image on www.ipernity.com/doc/wintorbos/44381896 (possibly the work of Barrowclough).
