Provenance:

David Mirvish Gallery, Toronto

Note:

Victoria Square is one of Montreal's great public spaces and has undergone many changes since this view was taken by Notman. At the end of the 19th century, it linked what was then the central business district in Old Montreal, and the new downtown, closer to the mountain, which can be seen in the background.
