Views of Canada

October 13, 2008October 14, 2008

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.

Breakneck Steps, Quebec City, QC, about 1870

Rustico Beach, PE, 1916 (?)
