EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of Montreal in 1874. Captured by John Filmer, a renowned photographer from that era, this image is part of the collection "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In". The photograph showcases various iconic landmarks and scenes from Montreal during that time. On the left side, we see the majestic Custom House standing proudly along the riverbank of the Saint Lawrence River. Paddle steamers gracefully glide across its waters, adding a touch of charm to this vibrant cityscape. In the distance, Helens Island emerges as an oasis amidst urban life. The view captures both perspectives - Montreal seen from Helens Island and vice versa - illustrating how interconnected these two locations are. Filmer's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. From the intricate architecture of buildings lining the quayside to meticulously drawn bridges spanning over Petite Riviere (Little River), each element contributes to creating a vivid portrayal of 19th-century Montreal. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into Canada's history and architectural heritage. It stands as a testament to Filmer's artistic talent and his ability to capture significant moments in time through his lens.
