Compliments of the season
The card pictures a boat harbor during winter time. A few people's silhouettes are visible, along with a few sailboats. A handwritten note at the bottom suggests the image might be Toronto Harbor. The back of the card confirms it is Canadian and reads "Entered according to Act of Parliament of Canada in the year 1881 by Rolph, Smith & Co. in the Office of the Minister of Agriculture".
