Wonderful colorized photos of NHLers date way back to the 1927 to ’32 era and are heavy on Montreal Canadiens content, given that they were included with Montreal’s “La Presse” newspaper. The nice assortment of 20 includes 13 slightly trimmed examples, measuring not quite 10” x 16”, featuring Howie Morenz, Aurele Joliat, Arthur Gagne, George Patterson, Herb Gardiner, Pit Lepine, George Hainsworth, Wildor Larochelle, Gizzy Hart, Albert Leduc, Leo Gaudreault, Sylvio Mantha, and Charlie Langlois. This group of 13 has varying degees of rough edges, and Larochelle’s picture has two large tears on the right side. The other 7 La Presse pictures are displayed nicely on cardboard backing with mattes and appear to be their full and untrimmed sizes, looking to be in terrific condition although we can’t see the outer edges. With the mattes they measure 13” x 20”, although one, the Feb. 1, 1939 Dave Kerr picture, is set into a larger 16” x 20” matte. This grouping, along with Kerr, includes Georges Mantha, Georges Boucher, Bill Phillips, Andy Blair, Frank Finnigan, and a 4-picture montage of Habs’ brass Joe Cattarinich, Cecil Hart, Leo Dandurand, and Louis Letourneau.
