NA0135 GREETINGS FROM CANADA [ACCORDION CARD]

NA0135 GREETINGS FROM CANADA [ACCORDION CARD]
POSTCARD

Date: Not evident. Not Posted.

Publisher / Photographer: Valentine Series

Notation: Pretty stunning message in the face of our current understandings/perspectives of colonialism, racism and discrimination.

Opening the flap on the chest area releases and accordion strip of eleven small images of indigenous people - all derived from images on actual postcards.

Here is the strip of attached images.

Certainly the message is offensive to us today, but the construction of the accordion strip is quite interesting. I have a handful of similar cards with accordion strips like this, though I've never attempted to scan any of them.

Scanning wasn't much fun.I think I managed to do a little additional damage to the flap that covered them.
