Hand Colorized Photo from 1900
Original Title: Jacques Cartier Square
Photographer: Detroit Publishing
Location: 404 Pl. Jacques-Cartier

This is Jacques Cartier Square, named in 1847 after the explorer who claimed Canada for France in 1535. The square is a part of Old Montreal which today is an historic neighborhood. That statue in the distance is Nelson's column which was erected in 1809.

Back in the early days, this area was used as a trading post, where local farmers could sell their wares to others. A busy place, filled with barrels and burlap sacks. Local stores align the streets on the sides when the wagons weren't in town, so even when they weren't selling produce there was something to buy. There is a large bottle of some kind in the background on the left.

The image is so alive, you can almost smell the dust in the air.

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
