7127R. Greetings from Canada - Manitoba [reverse]

The back is kind of interesting. I have not seen the signature line before, nor have I seen the instruction about "any other writing" on a Valentine card. I guess it's because the card is heavier. In any event, the sender E. S. H. has figured it all out and done it right. Addressee: Mrs E. H. Maltison, Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Posted Oct. 17, 1913.

7127. Greetings from Canada - Manitoba

This is a Valentine's Series card from the British Valentine company rather than the Canadian. The Manitoba shield opens out to reveal a long strip of miniature monochrome images (12 in all) showing scenes in Manitoba. These appear mostly to be common Valentine & Sons card images. The poetic lines are from the opening of the second verse of "O Canada!" (now the national anthem).
