1936-1937
Québec City’s surroundings were more than a postcard
As tourism developed, downtown Québec City became a world-famous tourist destination in the early 20th century. The suburbs of Québec City were much less well known, however, and remained largely off the tourist trail. Come and discover these outlying towns in this album through the magnificent aerial photographs taken in the 1930s by W.B Edwards. These photographs illustrate the city’s expansion at a time of accelerating rural exodus and urbanization throughout Quebec.
