IMAGE INFORMATION
Three nicely dressed men, wearing suits and ties and fashionable hats. One holds a flask, another a cup. Anonymous studio photograph; made into a postcard. Reverse reads: "A sober looking crowd. My Dear Frend Louis/ Just a card to let you know that the old boy is still kicking/ also how are the girls around Lequill/ I am now working in the woods/ as I have no more room, I will close/ from Charlie/ Passekeig, Kings Co. N.B." The men are identified by Vangie Pictou as Charlie Harlow on left, unknown in center, with Phillip Noel on the right. Sarah Harlow and Lena Pictou identify the three as (from left): Charlie Harlow, Joe Pictou and Phillip Paul who married Maggie Paul. According to Sarah Harlow, Joe and Phillip served in World War II; all three lived at the Bear River Reserve. One of 116 images collected for copying by Darlene Ricker between 1990 and 1997, as part of a project of the Bear River Mi'kmaq Reserve, Bear River, NS. Initiated by Chief Frank Meuse, the project, set up to preserve the reserve's history, resulted in a book by Darlene Ricker, 1997. The Nova Scotia Museum, Halifax, contributed the copywork for all photographs lent to the project, on the understanding that they would keep the copy negatives, but return the originals and provide the lenders with 8x10 prints of each item loaned for copying.
