An scan of Maximilienne Valiquette's half sister, Rolande Charlebois, of her First Communion ceremony. I think it's approximately from 1925.
In those days, pictures were rare and far between, and when one was done it was a special event. Production of the print was special too for poor families.
In the back of most pics of this size 3.5 X 5.5 inches was printed like the photo was a Post Card. This was done commonly in those days.
But the unique thing about this print is the embossing done on the lower right. This one says "A Brien 640 W Notre Dame St Montreal", A defunct photo shop. Creating this image of the embossing was not easy. The scanner would not show it well. I had to take a pic from my digital camera and orient the camera-print so the the light coming from outside would just graze the pint to highlight it's embossed part.
