A largely Western Canadian showing of 37 "Exaggeration" style postcards. "Exaggeration" postcards were used to facetiously advertise the products, advantages, or unique aspects of a place. These postcards, dating from the 1910s to the 1950s, promoted mostly agricultural and wildlife advantages to a public, aware of the exaggerated nature of the subject. Many of these postcards are earlier types, copyrighted in 1910 by the Canadian Post Card Co, Toronto. These postcards from a collector's estate, are still sleeved and priced in the original sleeves purchased in. Total retail as marked
