Canadian Postcards
The above booklet, published by St Andrews University Library,
states:
"With a few exceptions, the overseas
views were assigned to other sequences whose registers are not
preserved n St Andrews University Library and which were probably
not housed in Valentine's Dundee office."
However, Jean-Paul Viauld has been investigating the date of a
Valentine's postcard of a Montreal streetcar, and has discovered
more details. Jean-Paul wrote:
"The number on the streetcar postcard is
100617. I was able to contact the Toronto post cards
collectors club which maintain an extensive
database
of the Canadian production.
The Valentine's cards with Quebec
subject in particular, are numbered from 100000 and 115000. Less
than 1,000 have been preserved from the 15,000 production, ranging
from 1906 to 1918. Ours is from 1906"
