Lettres en français (French letters)

Very nice view of my grandfather's hometown of Sherbrooke, Quebec. Credited at lower right to A.-Z. Pinsonneault. Sign for C. E. Therrien, Epicerie.

Postcard posted February 19, 1900 with a Quebec & Richd. M. S. (Quebec and Richmond Mail Service?) cancel. As the reverse shows, this early postcard was actually a freight advice form. It is addressed to A. Montminy Esq., St. Giles, County Lotbinière (Quebec).

Illustrated Post Card Co. no. 403. Undivided back, addressed to Delle Graziella St Jacques, 12 St Julie, Montreal, Q.

Valentine-Black no. 112,303 with an odd note in French about Acadians on the reverse.

Posted at Moose Creek, which is somewhere in eastern Ontario, on April 18, 1907 (split-ring) to Mlle Ernestine Lalonde, The Lake, Ont. from "F.L." Unusual "Private Post Card" back.

Sharp, excellent image of "beachgoers" in Prince Albert. The enormous ladies' hats were clearly the style in 1912, as similar ones appear in the similar Lyall RPPCs of Winnipeg Beach from that same summer. Note that this card has been sent to France, with the stamp on the front as appears to have been required of postcards sent to France, Belgium and other countries.
