 C^V^ONTRKAL presents an almost uniquely interesting field 
 •-^<' v- for the artist who uses etching as his mode f)f expression, 
 for in Montreal he beholds the spectacle of an old-world city 
 besieged by a new-world metropolis. In the series of etchings of 
 which this book contains seventeen reprodu<!'tions, Mr. Raine has 
 depidted the beautiful old buildings and quaint street scenes of 
 the old town against their background ot the modem city. 
 
 5 And these pictures have an added sentimental value us records 
 of much that is rapidly passing away. This year, for instance, 
 will see the demolition oi the block ot buildings on St. Vincent 
 Street which is the subjedl of plates II and XVI. This 
 block contains not only the most [)eautiful old courtyard in 
 Montreal but also many buildings of great historic interest. 
 
 1 It was, however, for their dignity and l)eauty of composition, 
 for some inherent charm and simplicity of design, that the subjects 
 were chosen, and not with such a publication as this in view. In 
 fa6t no such volume was contemplated until the interest shown in 
 an exhibition of original etchings at Messrs. W. Scott & Sons, early 
 this year, prompted the collection in book form of the most typ- 
 ical examples so that they might be accessible to a wider public. 
 
 5 As the book is not intended as an historical record, but purely 
 as a pidlorial one, it is felt that the titles of the subjeds are suffi- 
 ciently explanatory to render further description unnecessar)'.
