Vintage Montreal City Map, c. 1895 by Rand McNally and Company captures the streets, districts, and waterfront of Montreal as they appeared in the closing years of the nineteenth century, from Mount Royal Park and the Town of St. Jean Baptiste to the wharves of Point St. Charles and the islands of the St. Lawrence River. Rand McNally and Company built its reputation as America’s foremost commercial cartography publisher, and this plate reflects the meticulous street-level detail and grid referencing that made its atlases the standard for accuracy and clarity in the period.
