A cabinet card depicting the Edmonton River Valley. On the back of the card is a handwritten message from Sérénine and Eugénie, written in French, addressed to their mother and wishing her a Happy New Year. The card was written in Edmonton, Alberta on January 1, 1895. The photograph was taken by Charles W. Mathers in Edmonton, Alberta. The handwriting on the back, which is barely legible, reads “ À notre bonne maman avec les meilleurs souhaites de bonne année, Sérénine & Eugénie. Edmonton, Alberta, 1e Janvier 1895” which translates to “To our good mother with best wishes for a Happy New Year, Sérénine & Eugénie. Edmonton, Alberta, January 1, 1895.”
