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.
The Zealandia Railway Station is in the forefront of the photo, with the hotel across the street. The old Highway 7 runs between the station and the hotel. Main Street can be seen on the right-hand side of the picture.
A bird's eye view of Zealandia businesses, facing southeast. The Zealandia Hotel is the white building in front, with a new wing being built. Shatilla's store is being built across from the hotel. The Livery Stable can be seen in the back.
