Cover page, Social History of the Parish of Christ Church, 1934

Cover of The Montreal Churchman of June 1934, black ink on sepia paper. The top of the page contains the title “The Montreal Churchman”. To the left of the title is the coat of arms of the Diocese of Montreal. Below the title is a drawing of a stone doorway with a pointed arch, inside which is written “Church Calendar for June, 1943” followed by a list of events for the month.

Maude Abbot took care to legitimize her historical approach, explaining that the sources used for her chronicles were first-hand and came directly from the people who lived through the events; the pioneer families or their descendants. The facts they contain give these stories great historical value.

This is the cover page of Maude Abbott’s Social History of the Parish of Christ Church, St. Andrews, Quebec, from 1818 to 1875, The Montreal Churchman, juin 1934,
