Lovely Group of Four KEVII Watercolour Painted Covers, 1905-1910, three are addressed to the same person in Toronto (from Québec, Halifax and Hamilton) and depict lovely country scenes and are very fine, except for one which has small edge tears. The fourth was mailed in 1905 from Montréal to the "H.M.S. Russell / Channel Fleet, c/o G.P.O. London England" with receiver on back and depicts the H.M.S. Russell on the high seas.
