Imagine being in Quebec sometime in the 1880s. You're walking down this narrow street in a working man's neighborhood underneath a canopy of overhead walkways and fluttering clotheslines. You turn the corner and suddenly this glorious quilt appears suspended above you. This is exactly what captured the attention of L. P. Vallee, a Canadian portrait and landscape photographer, and this is the Sous-le-Cap Street in Quebec's Lower Town.
