Continuing on where we left off yesterday, here we see Snow Effect, Montreal, by James Wilson Morrice, dating to 1906.
Robert Pilot painted St. Patrick's Church, Montreal in 1916.
Cab Stand, Dominion Square, Montreal, QC is a 1911 painting by Maurice Cullen.
Winter, Montreal (The Pink House) dates around 1905-07, and is by Morrice.
Old Houses, Montreal was painted by Cullen around 1908.
Cullen painted The Ice Harvest, Longueuil around 1916.
The Ice Harvest by Cullen dates around 1913.
Ice harvesting was done on the river for decades, with blocks of ice cut, stored, and sold to large and small clients for cooling in the time before refrigerators. A display case near the paintings features an ice saw and ice tongs, standard tools in this line of work.
I love these old paintings from the early 1900s. Nice to see the Montreal one, too.
