Depictions of Progress: Images of Montreal in Contemporary Guidebooks, 1839-1907
|
| Abstract |
The author remarks that throughout the second half of the nineteenth century, Montreal sought to define itself as the major commercial centre in Canada. It is consistently represented in tourist guidebooks as simultaneously taking command of the wood and water that it translated into products and services, and thriving in harmony with the natural habitat just outside its expanding boundaries.
