A cityscape of the Haymarket Square in Montreal, Quebec. Subject depicts several architectural structures running along the left hand side of the image. On the right hand side is a single architectural structure in the shape of an arch. A few people are seen walking around the square., Hatton created an almost identical image to this one in 1855. It is entitled Montreal and is currently in the holdings of the National Archives of Canada (C013121)., There is a discussion as to whether Hatton ever came to Canada. Some of his Canadian images are copies of images reproduced in the Illustrated London News., The label on the frame verso, which did not accompany this image to the NA, read: R.W. Redford / Haymarket & Beaver / Hall Hill 1859 Victoria Square today.
