A watercolour and bodycolour view looking down on Montreal from Mont Royal, showing the Victoria Bridge over the St Lawrence River and with the reservoir below the hill in the foreground. Signed, dated and inscribed: "Montreal June / 1860/ GHA" and in a later hand "Montreal from the Mountain June 1860". There are five vertical folds running down the sheet. Reproduced in the Illustrated London News of 25 August 1860.

George Henry Andrews worked for the Illustrated London News between 1856 and 1860, and in May and June of 1860 was sent to Canada to make a series of watercolours to be reproduced as illustrations to the newspaper's coverage of the Prince of Wales's tour to Canada and the United States. This watercolour dates from that first visit. Andrews then accompanied the royal party on the tour, made between July and October of 1860, as the representative of the Illustrated London News and made many sketches on the spot. The Prince of Wales reached Montreal on 24 August and, having laid the last stone, opened the Victoria Railway Bridge on the Grand Trunk Railway.

Along with other works by Andrews documenting the Prince's tour, this watercolour was originally mounted in a volume in the Royal Library before being incorporated into the newly-created Souvenir Album XI c.1930.
