Stamp on front

A J. H. Clarke card, unused with the ink stamp of D. F. de Tremaudan, Manor, N.W.T., Canada on the reverse. The cancel is "Manor, Assa.", a late use as it is October 1905, a month after the creation of the Province of Saskatchewan.

This card was mailed at Quebec City on September 22, 1905 and addressed to Mademoiselle Marie Gallery des Granges à Cigné (something I can't make out), Mayenne, France. The card is printed entirely in French and was published by Pruneau & Kirouac of Quebec.

Another Ed. Justement card, sent by A. Gay (see back).

First of three cards mailed to Maxine Baumann, Les Saules, Gagny (S & O) France that seem to illustrate how cards were supposed to be sent to France (with stamp on front, and the words POST CARD replaced with the notation "Printed Matter" (and "over" written on the stamp box). This card bears Miss Baumann's ink receipt stamp, including the number 21674. See separate image of the back. Valentine & Sons no. 102,289.

One of the three cards addressed to Maxinen Baumann, Les Saules, Gagny (S & O) France. This one is from N. Bowes, Halifax. It has the stamped receipt on the back (no. 23,478) with the (apparently required) notations "Printed Matter" and "Over" (in the stamp box) written by the sender. Valentine & Sons, no. 107,106.

Third of the cards mailed to Miss Maxine Baumann, this one on July 3, 1911, with her receipt stamp. This one is from Howard V. Cornfield, 48 Duke St. West, St. John, New Brunswcik, Canada. Howard hasn't followed the French postal rules quite as meticulously as Nellie Bowes (see other cards) but he has most of the stamp on the front, at least (perhaps it was done that way so that the Canadian postmaster would see the edge of the stamp on the other side and not think the card was unstamped.) The words "POST CARD" have been taped over on the back and a French ink stamp records the card's receipt on July 11, 1911 with a reply on July 30, 1911. There is also a serial number stamped on the 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.
