Postcards from Montreal early 1900s
ARCMTL is well-known for its collections of so-called “ephemeral” material, ie, publications, leaflets, posters or other material with a short useful life. Postcards of Montreal can actually be difficult to find in Montreal itself, given that they were usually mailed abroad by visitors to the city. The following are some of the older ones that have come up, including some of the personal messages that were inscribed on them, from more than 100 years ago.
