Greetings from Winnipeg

Greetings from Winnipeg
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.

, have particularly liked this photo

I've never seen this photo image before. A great one - with that HBC slogan!
