Les rues de Montréal, façades et fantaisie / Touches of Fantasy on Montreal Streets
|
| Abstract |
Edith Mather, a Montreal-based photographer, documented the evolution of Montreal's downtown urban landscape between 1966 and 1985. The 1960s were a time of intense urban renewal in Montreal, resulting in a city-wide program of mass-demolition. Mather saw in this destruction an irreversible loss of the city's nineteenth-century and early twentieth century architecture. Her photographs show an older face of the city decorated with stone carving, intricate ironwork, wooden details and spiral staircases. Some of the 4000 plus photographs she took during this period are reproduced in book. The text accompanying the book is by René Chicoine.
