EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 19th century, showcasing the magnificent Victoria Bridge over the St Lawrence River in Canada. The artist, Saddler, skillfully captures the grandeur of this engineering marvel that marked a significant milestone in Canadian history. The Victoria Bridge at Montreal holds immense historical importance as it was the first bridge ever constructed to span across the mighty St Lawrence River.

Set against a backdrop of Montreal Harbour, we see a sailing ship gracefully passing under the majestic bridge.
