Description
The Living Past of Montreal is a history of the city and its community, brought to life by fifty-seven specially commissioned charcoal and ink drawings of Old Montreal by R.D. Wilson. Beginning with the establishment of the first permanent settlement in 1642, Eric McLean describes the changing range of structures that have evolved to make Montreal what it is today. This narrative is set alongside Wilson's depictions of Old Montreal's most beautiful and significant streets and buildings. The collaboration of artist and writer has produced a book to be treasured by anyone who knows or visits Montreal.
