Envelope containing photographic copies of death certificates
Photographic negative copies of the death certificates of W. H. Kippen, W. Fitch, Alex Watson, and Louis Riel, contained in an envelope. The men died in May 1885 of wounds sustained during the Battle of Batoche or, in Riel's case, by hanging on 16 November 1885. The envelope was mailed from Taylors Limited, a photographic supply company at 260 Edmonton Street in Winnipeg, to a Mr. Howard, residing at 870 Palmerston Street, also in Winnipeg. The envelope appears to be postmarked 15 April 1936; the reprints of Riel's death certificate are also stamped with this date.
