Original early-1900s Canadian postcard depicting theReception Hall of Hochelaga Convent in Montreal, Quebec.
The front is captioned:
“Reception Hall. Hochelaga Convent.”
The left margin identifies:
“Montreal Import Co., Montreal. No. 78.”
The detailed interior scene shows rows of chairs, patterned carpeting, plants, religious artwork and decorations throughout the convent’s reception hall.
The reverse is marked“PRIVATE POST CARD – Address to be written on this side.”It remains unused with no address, stamp or postal cancellation.
This isNo. 78in the same Montreal Import Co. Hochelaga Convent series as theNo. 77 Senior Class Roomcard. Historical collections date Montreal Import Co.’s Hochelaga Convent series to approximately1905, soc.1905is appropriate rather than assigning an unsupported exact year.
