Beneath a brilliant blue sky, two Mounties in iconic red serge pose at ease on the manicured green of Halifax Commons, their polished boots gleaming against the neat path curving through the foreground. Behind them rises the powerful vertical spray of the central fountain — a symbol of civic pride — while the sturdy stone façade of the Halifax Armouries anchors the scene in military tradition.

Published by The Book Room Ltd. of Halifax and printed in Mirro-Krome format by H.S. Crocker Co., California, this undated but clearly mid-20th-century card reflects a confident, ceremonial image of Canadian identity. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police — instantly recognisable in their scarlet dress uniforms and Stetson hats — have long stood as a national symbol, and this card captures their presence amid one of Nova Scotia’s most recognisable public spaces.

An essential piece for collectors of Canadian police memorabilia, Halifax history, or vintage uniform studies, this postcard embodies pageantry, civic space, and institutional pride. To hold it is to hold a framed moment of national symbolism against the backdrop of provincial heritage.
