Pioneer Real Photo Post Card

AtkinsonRPPCMedicineHat
I’ve added an early card showing an inset RPPC image of the main street of Medicine Hat, NWT, with several people in front of J.K. Drinnan’s Dry Goods & Groceries general store. The card is postmarked Dec. 23 1899 in Medicine Hat, ASSA—the earliest card I’ve encountered from this series. While not confirmed, the card may be part of a series published by Atkinson Bros.

Another anomaly—PD. Ayer card with Atkinson image

Another Atkinson Bros. anomaly—a P.D. Ayer card with an image taken from an early Atkinson Bros. card. Was Atkinson Bros. material being sold off to other publishers?

Atkinson Pioneer postcard to Sardinia

AtkinsonHalifaxFort
A new Atkinson Bros. pioneer postcard has been added. This card was sent from Quebec City June 1, 1901 to Sassari, Sardaigne, which is the French spelling for Sardinia. The Kingdom of Sardinia (Royaume de Sardaigne) was a state in Southern Europe from the early 14th until the mid-19th century. On 17 March 1861, the Kingdom of Sardinia changed its name to the Kingdom of Italy, and in turn is the predecessor of the present-day Italian Republic. Sassari is located on the present island of Sardinia.
