Montreal | Canada | 1915 | Vintage Map

€49,00

The historic city map "Montreal" shows the Canadian metropolis on the St. Lawrence River as it presented itself around 1915. The map divides the city into thirty-one numbered wards, whose names are detailed in a separate legend – from Papineau to St. Louis to St. Denis.

Surrounding communities such as Westmount, Outremont, Verdun, and Notre-Dame-de-Grâce are included, as are rural areas in the north, such as the parishes of Sault au Récollet and Rivière des Prairies. Prominent landmarks shape the map's image: Mount Royal Park with Mount Royal Cemetery and Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery, the College of Philosophy, McGill University, and the Victoria Bridge, which spans the river towards Montreal South and St. Lambert.

On the river, St. Helen Island with its Public Park, Île Ronde, as well as numerous port facilities and shipyards, are marked. A dense network of electric streetcar lines and several railway lines, including Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk Railway, document the city's importance for transportation.

This detailed plan is excellently suited as a decorative wall hanging or as a gift for those interested in city history, map collectors, and anyone with a special connection to Montreal. Produced as a high-quality giclée print, it faithfully reproduces the fine details of the original.

Historical maps show traces of time and use, the intensity and artistry of which vary depending on the map and its purpose. The print offered is a reproduction.
