Each year in Montreal, The McCord Museum puts together an exhibit for display outside on McGill College Avenue in the city’s downtown. This year it is called Harry Sutcliffe – Strolling Through Montreal and features photographs from the 1920s and 30s.
The photo below from the exhibition shows Sutcliffe’s foresight. To some this will appear to be a shot of a pond in a park taken during the 1920s. But as my charming mug and manicured finger indicate, it is actually a picture of my apartment, some 80 years before I moved in. How did he know?
I sure wish I was paying the 1920s rent!
