Happy 100th birthday, Winnie-the-Pooh!
Did you know that Winnie was based on a real Canadian-British bear—and that his full name was WINNIPEG?
@hermionegingold.bsky.socialCan't find the enhanced images but here are 4 original scans from my g-grandmother's scrap books: My great grandmother with the bear, my grandmother's brother (double exposure) w/bear, my grandmother and her brother w/bear, Harry Colebourn, who bought the bear in Winnipeg, at Valcartier Camp w/bear.
