In this photo, young girls dressed as angels on Corpus Christi. They are dressed in white clothes, a scarf around their head and wear wings. They look at the photographer, hands clasped and with a serious facial expression.
The young girls are installed on either side of a staircase leading to the gallery of Cléophas Grégoire's family house.

The gallery is decorated with fabrics that are hung in the middle of the roof of the gallery. The tissues unfold downwards to the left and to the right. They frame a temporary altar placed on the floor of the gallery. Under this altar, other tissues that descend in front of it.

At the top, where the fabrics deployed on the left and right are attached, an inscription in white letters on a strip of black fabric: " VENITE ADOREMUS". Above this inscription, a cross made with branches of fir or pine and three small flags on the left and two on the right.

This photograph shows a partial view of the lower part of Garthby.
The view is looking north. The photo was taken from the roof of one of the two boathouses, the northernmost one.

St-Jacques street in Garthby

Garthby, St-Jacques Street, looking west from the intersection with St-François Street, about 1918. Remarkable photograph as for the details that we find there: the car, the wooden sidewalks, the architecture of the buildings, the clothes of the passers-by. Taking in account the clothes people are wearing, picture was probably taken on a Sunday, after mass.
The car is a Ford T 1916 or 1917 (identified by the shape of the rear window, the shape of the radiator at the front and the shape and type of the headlights).
