In this magnificent photographic essay, centering on two of the most iconic cities in North America, WCT Imprints present the cultural glory of 400-year old UNESCO World Heritage Site, Quebec City, and her distinctly contemporary and cosmopolitan counterpart, Montreal.
The flagship offering from WCT Imprints, "Quebec" is a stunningly beautiful celebration of a unique, urbane and sophisticated pairing of cities quite unlike any place else in the world.
From the kitchens, to the stage; from the churches, to the artist studios; from the architecture to the shops, "Quebec" is a book-lover's and arm-chair traveler's dream volume, illustrating a vibrancy, finesse and connection to history that makes Quebec a truly important and influential member of the world community.
While every page of "Quebec" is filled with compelling photography, both volumes take great care to connect with the leaders of the contemporary Quebecois cultural landscape, to hear their stories and to understand their unique perspectives.
"For me, Quebec is an living experiment in historic preservation and advancing a unique modern culture, " says Scott Lantry, Artistic Director for the set. " Listening to the amateurs and professionals in Quebec that contribute to culture every day, with their particular commitment, innovation and intensity lends depth and new appreciation to what is possible for contemporary culture in the New World."
This stunning set of two volumes is a must-have for world travelers, Francophiles, members of the French diaspora, and devotees of fine living everywhere. Alive with remarkable images of personal excellence and sublime locales, this hand-bound luxury edition of two volumes is presented in a linen clamshell case.
