Description : Hand-tinted colour postcard showing a panoramic view of Peace River. The hotel can still be seen on the south side of the Heart River and the bridge over the Heart River is still the original wood stacked bridge which was destroyed in a flood in 1914 and replaced by a steel bridge. The trestle bridge is not yet there which was completed in 1916, which dates the picture to 1914 or earlier but the postcard wasn't produced until 1934.
Commentaires : This donation of postcards and photographs was donated by Ernie Skip, who acquired them from a Mrs. MacRae, thought to be Pearl MacRae. Pearl Hazzard married Wilson MacRae and they had an adopted daughter, Greta MacRae, now Greta Picard (2010). Wilson was the post master in Peace River. It is thought to be Pearl MacRae because she lived only a few doors down from Mr. Skip, one of the postcards has the name Pearl on it, and the dates of the photographs coincide with the times that Wilson and Pearl would have been in Peace River.
