EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black and white portrait, taken in 1859 by William England, we are transported back in time to witness a serene moment on a hill overlooking the vibrant city of Montreal, Canada. The photo showcases a group of individuals, both male and female, seated amidst nature's embrace. Towering before them are the magnificent twin spires of Notre Dame Basilica, exuding an air of grandeur. As our gaze extends beyond the basilica, we catch sight of the Victoria Railway Bridge still under construction in the background. This testament to progress serves as a reminder that even then, Montreal was a city on the rise. The junction where St Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers meet lies peacefully before us; their waters reflecting fragments of history. The presence of a majestic tree adds depth to this picturesque scene while framing our view towards this bustling metropolis. William England's masterful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this archival gem - an intimate glimpse into life during that era. It is through his lens that we can appreciate not only the beauty but also sense the anticipation for what lies ahead for Montreal. This photograph transports us across time and space – inviting contemplation about how much has changed since then while celebrating Montreal's enduring spirit as it continues to evolve into one of North America's most vibrant cities.
