Warwick Bros. & Rutter card no. 1013 with misspelling of "Assiniboine" -- later corrected on subsequent printings.

Lyall RPPC of Maison Chapelle in St. Boniface. Signed by a J. E. Fontaine of St. Boniface and addressed to France where it is receipt stamped on March 29, 1914.

Notre Dame des Prairies, the church at the Trappist monastery in St. Norbert, Manitoba (now a neighbourhood in the extreme south end of Winnipeg). This is on an undivided back with a "Private Mailing Card" design and was postmarked in November 1903 at St. Norbert to Monsieur A. Maguin, Aures, Haute-Loire, France. It is signed "Joseph" on the front, as seen above.

Valentine & Sons card no. 105,147 posted on September 11, 1912 at St. Boniface, Man. to Mr. Justus Morria, Acton Vale, Quebec, with a message in French. The Winnitoba was a popular passenger vessel owned by the Hyland family. It mainly carried passengers from central Winnipeg to the Hyland amusement park downstream around Middlechurch. This card provides a nice view of the ship, which sailed for only a couple of seasons before being destroyed in a fire.

This has no identifying information, but it is a Canadian card and shows a Brandon pennant in the background, much like another card that I have with a car in it that was a souvenir of the Dominion Exhibition, held in Brandon in 1913. I expect this is another such card.

This is an interesting Stedman card, unrecorded in the Stedman book, although an identical "Series 13" card sporting a Portage & Main image is depicted there. The card is addressed but not stamped. The message reads: "Winnipeg, Man. Will go down to see you as soon as I get home. Hoping you are all well. Best Love, James." The addressee is Miss Ardienne [sic] Rochon, Beauharnois, Que. The image is surprisingly unusual -- taken from atop the Union Station and looking north. You would think that you would see this a lot, given that it is an important stretch of the city's most important street (Main Street), but I don't think I have seen this angle before. Perhaps the management of Union Station weren't accommodating to postcard photographers. Interestingly this seems to be from a sheet of postcards that have been photographed in order to produce smaller versions. At left you can see the edge of a card showing Eaton's.

This is a Lyall card which I'm interested in mostly because of the printed label in the lower margin -- I have seen this only once before on a Lyall card. It is the only time he appears to have issued a numbered series.

Winnipeg Photo Co. card #1107 dated 1908, showing the main street of Ninga, Manitoba. Inscribed on reverse "Uncle Richard, from Charlie".

Sender Stella [Elewaut] writes: "Winnipeg, December 14, 1905 My dear cousin, Here is a view card of Winnipeg that I'm sending to add to your collection. I await your news. Lots of kisses from your loving cousin, Stella. All the best to your family." It is difficult to identify where on Kennedy this is.

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.

Valentine & Sons card no. 100,368, showing the Manitoba legislative building on Kennedy Street. The card is unused and in excellent condition.
