WP1918 WPG - (CHINESE GENT, LIKELY WINNIPEG)
Date: Posted May 11, 1905
Publisher / Photographer: Not evident.
On classic early Velox postcard stock, this card was posted from Winnipeg to a Lewis H.Dwinell in Stoughton, Assiniboia (now SK)
While it is likely, there is nothing in the image to confirm that the photo was taken in Winnipeg,
The handwritten note reads: "Lee Ping Chop Suey. Thanks for your letter - thought you would like a reminder of our old mutual friends Chef. - J.W.S.
Winnipeg-based or not, I am quite taken with this image - both the personage of this Chinese gent and the cast iron detail on this old wood stove.
Of interest in the image:
* The wood is piled into a wooden crate reading "CONDENSED MILK".

Another theory... I wonder if the opening line "Lee Ping Chop Suey" was alluding to their friend's chef (and perhaps a favoured dish), and J.W.S. was sending this photo of an anonymous Winnipeg man as the "reminder" of the actual Lee Ping.
Sadly, I am fairly certain there will be no closure on the identity of this fellow.
