This is a Postcard View Book of Winnipeg, from an unknown publisher. Looks to be from some time in the early 40s based on the cars visible in a few of the images. These postcard books were most prominently made by a company out of Chicago called "
Curt Teich & Co.", but also by a number of other smaller firms using a similar technique. Absolutely no names or serial numbers are printed on this one sadly, I'd love to know who made it...
The Pavilion at Assiniboine Park is featured on the cover.
The back has the Law Courts Building, which looks much the same
today.
Inside are a number of views printed on a long double sided sheet that pulls out. Most of the buildings pictured still remain, with the exception of the Hospital (demolished, but the site is now part of the Health Sciences Centre) and the Royal Alexandra Hotel.
