Group photograph of students and teacher standing on the steps of the Biggar Public school in Biggar, Saskatchewan; Union Jack flags are hung above the door and two girls at the front of the group are holding a banner.
Black and white postcard showing a large group of children lined up in rows, some dressed in uniform and holding instruments. Two buildings can be seen with signs which read "Garage Auto Livery" and "Town office".
These postcards are printed photographs (not real photo) images of the University of Saskatchewan campus, and Saskatoon, taken during the 1940s. The postcards have not been used: each is identified with a “negative number” on the back, although the photographer is not known. It is assumed these were a reference set, from which orders for more postcards could be made. They are in pristine condition and provide exceptionally clear images of early University buildings, such as the original Veterinary Medicine building and the student-built “New Medical College,” as well as rare images of Saskatoon, including the Bessborough Hotel gardens and views of bridges from the road.
