Description
This lovely pictorial map of Montreal and the surrounding area was issued in the mid-20th century by the Provincial Transport Company. The firm operated the local branch of Gray Line Tours, a worldwide sightseeing organization that started in 1910 with a refurbished Mac truck driving through Washington, D.C.
The image, signed E.S. in the lower right, accompanies the centerfold position in a promotional brochure to encourage tourism in Montreal. Lower duty prices on alcohol, cosmetics, linens, and other souvenirs are heavily emphasized throughout, as well as several tour options across the region.
