This vintage postcard showcases the Maisonneuve Monument in Montreal, Canada, a prominent landmark immortalizing Paul de Chomedey, Sieur de Maisonneuve. The chromolithograph, dating to 1925, presents a view of the monument amidst the surrounding urban architecture, with buildings that appear to be constructed of limestone and mature trees partially visible. The title, "Maisonneuve Monument, Montréal. Monument Maisonneuve," is printed vertically along the top edge. A Canadian 5-cent stamp, depicting a maple leaf, is affixed to the upper right corner of the verso. The back of the postcard features a divided back design, common for the period. Postmarked in Canada, the postcard bears a handwritten message addressed to Mrs. Chas H. Plenty of Anderson St., Hackensack, Bergen County, New Jersey. The message, penned on August 24-25, reads: "Dear Mrs. Plenty, Thank Charley for his interesting letter. Am enjoying myself, but could be having a better time if you and he were here with us. Yours, H.I. Johnsone." The presence of this intimate, albeit brief, correspondence enhances the postcard's appeal as a tangible artifact of early 20th-century social history and epistolary tradition. The combination of the monument's iconic status and the personal message offers collectors a unique glimpse into the past, bridging the realms of civic identity and individual experience via philately.
