Transcription

To Elsie

From Dorry Bill & Vina

Commentary

There is one other card from Vina. I think the three people in this card also feature in the earlier card. I still do not know who they are, Dorry, Bill and Vina.

Harold Anderson (1869-1926) was born in Norway and the son of an early settler in Palmerston North. He studied at the Chicago Art Institute returning to New Zealand in 1905. He set up a photographic business on Main Street in Palmerston North. He was also a painter and designed the Te Awe Awe statue in The Square, Palmerston North.
