Description1905 Canadian coat of arms postcard.jpg
A German postcard showing the arms of Canada. At the four corners of the postcard are what were then the current coats of arms for Ontario (top left), Québec (top right), New Brunswick (bottom right) and Nova Scotia (bottom left). In the centre shield, these four arms are repeated, and then followed by a modified device for Manitoba (the current Manitoba device had a standing bison, the artist has shown a running one), an anachronistic device for British Columbia (this device had not been used since 1896), and a modified device for Prince Edward Island (the official one also depicts a chief).
