Edward Walsh

Edward Walsh painted sweeping landscape views of early 19th-century Montreal, blending the city’s new streets with the river’s wide curves. His only documented work in this bundle, Montreal from the Mountain and View of the St. Lawrence River (1803), shows the young settlement framed by water and sky, a quiet record of a place in transition. Tap into this scene to zoom into the river’s edge, where wooden boats and distant hills anchor the moment in time.
