| Description : | Copy of a black and white print showing a convertable car with its top folded back revealing the driver and three passengers. The car is on what was the unpaved Belcher Street, Kentville. In the top right, partially hidden behind trees, is the Kentville Catholic Church, St. Josephs, built in 1892. The registration plates of the car are of a design that was issued from 1907 to 1917. The steering wheel is on the left side on the car, as it is today, but when this car was assembled, Nova Scotians drove on the left so the steering wheel could be a sign the car was imported from the US. The car is overloaded with sacks. Bill Naylor, using an earlier copy of this image, was able to read the labels on the sacks: "Colonial Hide Company, Windsor, NS." The car is stationary in the road and the car's occupants are formally dressed and posed. In the front seat is Mr. N.E. Chute and Blake Clarke. In the back seat are: Mrs N.E. Chute and K.P. Burns. Mr Burns is sitting, elevated, on sacks, and is holding something whose shape resembles a field hockey stick. |
| Fonctions : | This is a copy of a 1917 photograph. There is no record of why this posed photograph was taken. The picture, taken by professional photographer A.L. Hardy, would have been planned. K.P Burns was an uncle of the donor's wife, Ellen (Nixon) Saunders. Burns became a car salesman in Bridgetown, NS. |
