Sunset, Moose Jaw, Canada, circa 1903

About this postcard

The view looks across the water toward Moose Jaw at sunset, with the town's rooflines and smokestacks silhouetted against the sky. Small boats rest on the river, and dark trees frame the foreground. Moose Jaw was a Canadian Pacific Railway divisional point and a prairie trade center in the early 1900s; the smokestacks along the bank suggest the railway shops and grain businesses that served the surrounding farms.
