EDITORS COMMENTS
This detailed 18th-century print showcases the intricate plan of the town and fortifications of Montréal, also known as Villa Marie, in Canada. The artist behind this historical piece remains unknown, but their skill in cartography is evident in the precise lines and key included on the map.
Published in MS 'Universal Magazine' in November 1759, this ungraduated plan provides a glimpse into the layout of Montréal during this time period. The strategic placement of forts and defenses can be seen clearly, highlighting the importance of protection for early settlers in Canada.
As we study this black-and-white print, we are transported back to a time when North America was still being explored and settled by Europeans. The city streets and buildings depicted on this map give us a sense of what life may have been like for those living in Montréal during the 18th century.
This print from the National Maritime Museum serves as a valuable historical document, shedding light on the development and growth of Canadian towns like Montréal. It is a reminder of our past and how far we have come since those early days of exploration and colonization.
