Photo by Duffin & Caswell Winnipeg 1877-1880 A note on the back reads:
Vous ête bien joli "You are very pretty." We don't know who this mysterious francophone gentleman was, but it seems like he was trying to court a few Inkster ladies: A matching photo without the inscription was found in a photo album belonging to Mary Tod Inkster. |
