Russell, Lang & Co. card (as apparently republished from the Detroit Photographic Co. original -- no. 5989) and turned into a Christmas greeting card. It's an undivided back, likely from 1901 or 1902 but not dated or posted.

Posted somewhere in Ontario in 1907 to Miss L. Sevett, c/o Miss Collins, Capliegh, Cross-in-Hand, Sussex, England, without a message. No indication of publisher. Here we get a good view of part of the pre-1912 Bankers' Row, with the Bank of Commerce, Bank of Nova Scotia, Merchants Bank, Eastern Townships Bank and Bank of Ottawa among the seven buildings shown.
