English: Celebration of the Queen’s Birthday at Montreal. Volunteers Drilling for the Queen’s Birthday, on the Champs de Mars, by Aid of the Electric Light

Français : Gravure du Canadian Illustrated News du 31 mai 1879 montrant des manœuvres militaires de nuit pour marquer l’anniversaire de la reine Victoria. Des lampes électriques illuminent l’esplanade, l’Hôtel de ville et le Vieux palais de justice. « La démonstration du Champ-de-Mars se déroule dans le cadre d’une célébration publique au cours de laquelle des exercices militaires, des défilés et des feux d’artifice sont déployés dans divers points de la ville. Le but de la démonstration n’est pas de mettre de l’avant une découverte scientifique, mais de promouvoir une technologie émergente en déployant une stratégie scénique. Pour J.A.I. Craig, l’événement est une occasion parfaite pour attirer l’attention du public, des autorités et des investisseurs sur ce nouveau type d’éclairage. » – Valeria Téllez Niemeyer |
