This photograph was taken c. 1900 and shows the construction of the 'Inter Provincial Bridge' between Ontario and Quebec. It is taken from the Ontario side of the Ottawa River right behind Parliament Hill.
This is The Royal Alexandra Inter Provincial Bridge taken by me in 2010. The vantage point is slightly different than the original. I tried to get it as close as possible, however I believe the original may have been taken from Lover's Walk - which was located on the hillside behind Parliament Hill since the late 1800's. It has been closed for some time now (more than likely for security reasons, both structurally and to prevent access to Parliament Hill).
In this photograph, you can see that there has not been much change in the general scenery from the original, with the exception of the MacDonald-Cartier bridge in the background.
