Scope & content
Ces quatre exemplaires présentent la ville fortifiée de Montréal et ses environs. Ce plan est couramment appelé "spy map" dans la mesure où il serait basé sur les observations d'un officier anglais espion, présent à Montréal entre 1756 et 1758. L'un des exemplaires comporte de nombreuses notes historiques au sujet de l'évolution subséquente des divers aménagements de la ville.

What the image shows
This is an antique printed map of a walled town on the bank of a river, with the river labelled 'The River St. Lawrence' in large capitals across the lower part. The town's streets, rectangular blocks, fortification walls and bastions are drawn in fine lines, with a key of lettered and numbered notes in the lower right, a decorative cartouche with a title in the upper right, and a scale bar at the centre. The paper is aged and browned, and the printed text along the margins is too small to read clearly.Described automatically by a vision model; may contain mistakes.
