Item is an albumen photograph taken by Dr. R. Bell in 1878. It shows the gardren and storehouse at York Factory. It is marked with a number 22 in the bottom left corner. Bears the stamp of Sir Sandford Fleming.
Inscription on back of copyprint reads "a Yorke Boat. One of the most . . .carriers of James Bay". Chesterfield attempted to edit part of a dog out of the foreground of this image, however, the dog remains on the negatives. Shows part of a dock in the foreground, with the boat in the middle ground, with three large sails, and a cluster of four people upon it. In the distance there are rolling hills dotted with trees, and a vast expanse of sky beyond that.
Colourful rendition of yonge street at bloor, bright signs and many cars in view. Incription on the postcard reads: "Dear Mother, this is to let you know we arrived here quite safe after a long journey"
