What a Shame Wednesday, Unknown Mother & Daughter, 1907 - 1909



This lovely mother-daughter postcard portrait from about 1908-1910 was found in an antique shop in Airdrie, Alberta.  Unfortunately, the little note on the reverse doesn't provide any hints to the identity of the pair, or to place where it was taken:


Dear Emma,

 Just to show you how Canadian air suits me, do not be long before you write, with love to you all, Hettie.

We know the postcard dates to about 1907-1909 because of the AZO stamp box's diamond corners.  I am guessing it was displayed for some time on a wall or display area because of the large hole in the top centre.
Wouldn't it be great if someone recognized this picture?
