The Landing. Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company's steamboat landing and the city of Quebec from the river (reduced in size)

Although originals of these early historical photographs of Quebec taken and published in the late 1890s or very early 1900s are very difficult to obtain, you can now get them on a cd-rom prepared from original early 20th century items held in a private collection.

This cd-rom isn't mass produced but is compiled individually and personally for each purchaser so few copies exist. You can get one of them here.

A few sample images are set out below, followed by a list of all the views.

View from Laval University (reduced in size)

Kent Gate, the lower part of the city. St. Charles and a part of the City Walls from the Parliament Building (reduced in size)

The new St. Louis Gate (reduced in size)

These rare views show you how much Quebec has changed in the last hundred years. Compare these views with what you can see today
