Victoria, British Columbia Exhibition / Carnival postcards. An intriguing pair of century plus year old postcards. The first showcasing the Provincial Exhibition and Horse Show in September 1909 (used August 1909), while the card was published by TN Hibben in Victoria, the photograph was taken by George Alfred Barrowclough (1870-1950) who is best known for his striking photographs of Winnipeg during the first years of the 20th century. Barrowclough moved to Burnaby BC in 1906, where he continued his postcard production, but on a much smaller scale. The second card (not to be outdone) is a beautifully illustrated advertising for the Victoria Carnival Week in August 1913. This colorful card was published by the Pacific Publishing Company of Vancouver BC. An attractive duo for the deltiologist. Estimate =
