Views of Canada

The first Canadian institution in The Commons on Flickr joins us today. Musée McCord Museum shares with us a glorious selection of historic photos of life all over Canada from 1858 through to 1935.

Wheat stacks and wagon load of grain, Portage La Prairie, MB, 1887

Breakneck Steps, Quebec City, QC, about 1870

Rustico Beach, PE, 1916 (?)

The collection shows lots of Canadian landmarks, including this lovely picture of Chaudière Falls, in Ottawa. They’ve changed a bit since then…
