7127. Greetings from Canada - Manitoba

05 Jun 2016 267
This is a Valentine's Series card from the British Valentine company rather than the Canadian. The Manitoba shield opens out to reveal a long strip of miniature monochrome images (12 in all) showing scenes in Manitoba. These appear mostly to be common Valentine & Sons card images. The poetic lines are from the opening of the second verse of "O Canada!" (now the national anthem).
