British artist Arthur Elliot produced dozens of lively sketches of Montreal during his visit there from September 1881 to March 1882. He had a sharp eye for the minutia of daily life and recorded it with an equally sharp wit. The winter months, in particular, were source of interest and he delighted in recording the various sleighs and winter dress of Montrealers, and painted charming watercolours of skating carnivals and children sleighing on city streets.
