Abstract
Item 3 of 3 in a small collection of postcards showing Prince Edward Island scenes, all addressed to Miss Edith Russell of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Edith May Russell (1877-1957) was hired to work in the newsroom of the Halifax, Nova Scotia newspaper 'The Daily Echo' in 1902, during the time L.M. Montgomery was employed there; notes in Montgomery's journals suggest the two kept in intermittent contact for some years thereafter, into the 1920s. This postcard bears a tinted / colourized photograph of the Silver Fox monument in Alberton, Prince Edward Island. The sender, identified only by a signature as "Ed. White", has no known connection to L.M. Montgomery, and the short message on the postcard makes no reference to anything Montgomery-related. The postmark is for Charlottetown, September 4, 1952.
