[1/5] Growing up in Quebec in the ‘50s it was still common to see images of Father Time at New Year's. Out of curiosity, I looked him up and I’d like to share these historic images which are all drawn from Quebec periodicals.
This first is a winged Father Time from 1901 holding an hourglass, by the well-known Quebec artist Edmond-Joseph Massicotte. Source: BANQ#Pagan #NewYear #FatherTime

This is the one cent stamp that was on the back of the Lipton's Tea Advertising Card that I discussed above.
This one cent Canada postage stamp commemorated The 300th Anniversary of Quebec (1608 - 1908). It depicts two historical figures - the explorers Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain and has the notation "IIIe Centenaire de Quebec) at the foot.
