In addition to W.G. MacFarlane’s well known patriotic cards, the company also produced a series of view cards, some of which feature the same images as the patriotics, but without the patriotic emblems. Below are a selection of those cards.

Later, the company began producing colour cards made by colourizing bland & white photos. They referred to this as their Naturotype Process, and in 1905 were offering to produce cards for people interested in creating their own postcards.
A sample of their Naturotype Process is shown on the card below.
MacFarlane published this same photo as a black & white image entitled “Swan Pond, Centre Island Park” in their “Souvenir of Toronto” book, published by MacFarlane for S.H. Knox & Co.
