A View of Montreal, 1850
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph print, showcasing an enchanting scene of Montreal, Canada, as it may have appeared in the mid-19th century. The image, part of Lady Tweedsmuir's "Canada" collection in The British Commonwealth in Pictures series, published by Collins, London, in 1941, is a testament to the rich history and beauty of this vibrant city. The photograph presents a panoramic view of Montreal, with the St. Lawrence River acting as a central element, meandering through the landscape. The city's architectural gems, such as the Notre-Dame Basilica and various other buildings, can be seen nestled along the riverbank, their silhouettes contrasting against the clear blue sky. In the background, the majestic mountains stand tall, their snow-capped peaks reaching for the heavens, adding a sense of grandeur and tranquility to the scene. The photograph's creator remains unknown, but it is believed to have been produced in the 1940s. Lady Tweedsmuir, whose full name was Susan Charlotte Buchan, Grosvenor, was a British author and the wife of the 1st Baron Tweedsmuir. She is known for her literary works, including "Midwinter," and her contributions to the "British Commonwealth in Pictures" series, which aimed to showcase the diverse beauty of the British Empire's territories. The photograph, with its intriguing historical context and stunning composition, invites viewers to imagine Montreal as it once was, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring charm of this remarkable city.
