The image showcases Winnipeg, the capital and largest city of Manitoba, as it flourished following the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1881. From an aerial perspective, we are presented with a birds-eye view of this bustling cityscape. The wide boulevard stretches out before us, lined with lanes filled with road transport and streetcars. It is evident that transportation played a significant role in shaping Winnipeg's development during this era. The monochrome composition adds to its timeless appeal, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and historical significance of this moment captured by Elizabeth O'Neill.
