Bathed in the warm palette of hand-applied linen-era color, the grand Romanesque towers of Canadian Pacific Railway's Windsor Station anchor the Montreal skyline above a sunlit Dominion Square — a view beloved by generations of travelers passing through what was then the busiest rail terminus in Canada. Published by International Fine Art Co. Ltd. of Montreal (their number 828), the card perfectly illustrates the linen postcard's ability to romanticize urban grandeur. On the back, a traveler named Wolfram pens a brief, cheerful note in German to Else in Dresden: "Herzliche Grüsse aus Montreal. Morgen geht's nach Quebec" ("Heartfelt greetings from Montreal. Tomorrow we're off to Quebec") — a tourist in motion, enjoying Canada while Dresden remained at peace, just a couple of years before the world changed forever. The card carries two Canadian King George VI Mufati-issue stamps (1¢ green + 2¢ brown) and bears a Montreal machine cancel of September 7.
