Imperial Series No. 136, Picture Postcard Co., Ottawa. Postmarked May 25, 1905 at Ottawa.

Nice Illustrated Post Card Co. (Montreal) image of Ottawa. Posted there on May 16, 1906 to Mr. A. Nunn, 45 Hargurgne St., Brixton, London, S.W., England. That is Parliament Hill and in particular the West Block of Parliament (with a bit of the Centre Block -- destroyed by fire a decade later -- in the left foreground).

Valentine & Sons card -- you can see that the number has been cut off at lower left, with only the top of the circled "JV" showing. Interesting view of the locks at the end of the Rideau Canal and the bridge across to Quebec. Unused.

N. Co. card. Postmarked September 9, 1907 at Ottawa, Canada and addressed to Miss Mabel Purdy c/o H.C. Brown Esq. Yoxford House, King's Lynn, Norfolk, England.

Twilight view, in Valentine's "MEZZOGRAPH" series, printed in Great Britain. Sent without a message to Miss Mossop, 8, Park Terrace, Lindal-in-Furness, Ulverston, England, which I understand is in Lancashire (now Cumbria). Mailed June 24, 1911 at Montreal.

Valentine & Sons no. 102,696, addressed to the famous Miss L. Price, 26 Arden Road, Birchfields, Birmingham, England. "Oct. 11/13 Dear Lizzie, We had a nice holiday in the country this year for two weeks, also very nice weather. I expect to see my nephew from Hamilton on Thanksgiving Day which falls on the 20th of this month. With love, Ernest."

Posted October 7, 1906 to Mrs. H. Lenton, Field Head, Chidswell, Dewsbury, Yorkshire, England. "Parliament buildings here are just fine...." Photo attributed to C. H. Thorburn on front, but otherwise there are no identifying marks.
