Today’s the day for Canada’s largest #postcard show! Over 20 dealers and knowledgeable collectors such as The Daily Postcard will be present. I can’t attend but will post some cool cards such as this one depicting the Duke of Connaught arriving in #Calgary for Calgary Stampede
Some #postcards are just postcards, others are iconic. Amazing card depicting the first Calgary Stampede with Tex McCloud riding a bronco. Great stuff!
Prince Arthur, the Duke of Connaught, was the son of Queen Victoria, and the only member of the Royal family to serve as Governor General of Canada. He passed away at 91 in 1942 and was the longest living child of the late Queen.
