A bird's-eye view of Winnipeg,
Manitoba
1900, by W.J. Bulman
This bird's-eye view of Winnipeg was published on the
eve of Winnipeg's second wave of phenomenal growth (the
first wave occurred in the 1880s just prior to the arrival
of the railway). A flood of immigrants, high wheat prices,
excellent rail connections, and improved farming technology
helped Winnipeg to become Canada's third-largest city
by 1914, and Canada's fourth-largest city in terms of
its manufacturing capability.
