Lines o' Old Montreal - Go-To-Market at Scale

A group of men and women decided to settle on a tip of land on the banks of the St. Lawrence River. That was in 1642 and the start of the area’s urbanization. Here are 2 and a half photographs from a short working visit to Old Montreal, the settlement that expanded and transformed to the bourgeois centre of the city in the 19^th century, the heart of the metropolis in the early 20^th century and is now the historic city centre.
