Before 1900, they were mostly backdrops for human activity: gathering oysters or kelp, drying sheets; more rarely for bathers or people at leisure. It is true that beach resorts were still a recent phenomenon, whose development paralleled that of...

It is never easy - sometimes impossible - to collect the complete set of prints by an artist of an earlier period.

Why it's worth the drive: This gallery is almost as iconic as the artists it represents. In business since 1950, it sells masterpieces from Group of Seven artists as well as Cornelius Krieghoff , Jean Paul Lemieux and Jean-Paul Riopelle .

This lovely little pochade of Dufferin Terrace painted in late June 1910 is both a quintessential James Wilson Morrice and an extremely rare summer Quebec subject by him.
