| Description: | On this page, (pg. 90, The Canadian Pictorial & Illustrated War News, date unknown), correspondents write about events that took place during the 1885 Resistance including “Views of Qu’Appelle”, “Sketches From Battleford” and “Larmour’s Portable Rifle Pits” – all of which are supporting information for some of the illustrations that appear in this collection. There is also a bad joke about Louis Riel: “Louis Riel – Why is he like a leg of mutton? (1) Because it is a case of ‘cut and come again’. (2) If you wish to see him properly served you should let him hang”. Of note on this page are two advertisements that delineate late nineteenth-century tastes. |
