Vintage Postcard: Dog Cart (racing sulky), Quebec
Un Attelage de Chien a Quebec, Canada - A Dog Cart, Quebec, Canada n.101
From the way the driver is dressed – as a jockey I believe – I think this is a dog racing sulky.

Postcard: An Eskimo Family, Greenland
Transcript: Text on back of card
AN ESKIMO FAMILY, GREENLAND – This race of people are considered one of the most hardiest of the human family. They get their subsistence from hunting by sea, using for the purpose skin-boats where the sea is open, and dog sledges on the ice. From the skin, blubber and flesh of the seal and the cetaceous animals they procure clothes, light and food. They rarely withdraw more than twenty miles from the seashore. The Eskimo dog is a hardy and powerful animal, in form resembling the shepherd dog. He is used by the natives and explorers as a beast of burden.
Message for my Grade 6 students: Please don’t forget – in our classroom we refer to the original inhabitants of the Arctic as Inuit (not Eskimo) and we use the term ethnic group (not race).

I find Gaspe dog-carts fascinating not only because of their novelty (to me) but also because there’s a variety of designs and those depicted in my old postcards seem to be hand-crafted and perhaps even home-made.
These dogcarts are a ture testament to our ancestors’ ingenuity!
