POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Not Posted. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: Although similar to a common colour lithograph postcard by Valentine & Sons, this real photo is taken from a sightly different angle - showing more of the balconies. The small storage shed to the left contains a pile of firewood on the right side. No doubt the shed would have been full in the winter time.

POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Not Posted. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: Under magnification, the name of this ship, "Rosamond Billet", is legible on the hull just below the row of gents perched on the ship. The Manitoba Historical Society list is as having a tonnage of 679 tons and as operated by Hugh Sutherland. No other information is evident on either side of this postcard, but the location of the ship is definitely on the west side of the Red Red River, just upstream of the St. Boniface Cathedral - seen in the centre, behind what is likely the old Broadway Bridge. This mention is made in the June 13, 1911 edition of the Winnipeg Tribune; "Another Barge is Going Northward with Large Cargo The Rosamond Billet, of the Lake Winnipeg Shipping & Supply Co., Is now en route for the north heavily laden with supplies for the construction camps around lake Winnipeg. She called Saturday night and it is her second trip this season. That there Is a boom in navigation on the Red River is evidenced by the fact that on Thursday night the company owning the Rosamond Billet will launch its second large barge this spring. Interestingly, the January 3, 1921 edition of the Winnipeg Tribune lists a Rosamond Billet as one of the guests at a New Years ball held at Government House.

POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Unposted. Publisher / Photographer: Lyall Commercial Notation: This was the home of one of St. Boniface's most revered inhabitants - James Emile Pierre Prendergast (1858 - 1945). Among his many contributions to the city and the Province, made personally and professionally, he was the MLA for Provencher from 1892-1896, the MLA for Woodlands from 1892-1896, and the Mayor of St. Boniface from 1893-1896. During his lifetime, Judge Prendergast had several residences. This photographer, Maurice Lyall, was primarily active from 1911 through 1913. During that period, the address of the Pendergast home was 85 Rue Notre Dame Street in St. Boniface. I am assuming that this house would have been located on an earlier portion of Notre Dame to the west of Tache - likely on the north side of the street.
