Scarlet serge blazing against a backdrop of snow-capped Rocky Mountain peaks, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police corporal sits ramrod-straight astride a magnificent black horse on the Alberta prairie — an image so perfectly composed it was pressed into service as a promotional tourism invitation card by the Alberta Government Travel Bureau. The horse's purple and gold saddlecloth bears what appears to be the RCMP's 75th anniversary emblem, suggesting this chrome-era card dates to the early-to-mid 1950s. Printed in natural color lithography by The Hamly Press Ltd. of Edmonton from an official Alberta Government photograph, the reverse is a pre-addressed request form inviting the recipient to fill in their name and address and mail it directly to the Alberta Government Travel Bureau at the Legislative Buildings in Edmonton — a clever piece of mid-century government tourism marketing. The card is unused with all fields blank.
