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.
