# Duke of York at Montreal and Quebec 1901

Summary from K. Niver: "This film shows the citation, presentation, and dedication of a bridge by the Duke of York, later King of England and grandfather of Queen Elizabeth. Many high-ranking military officials of both England and Canada are with him." See Kemp R. Niver, Early Motion Pictures: The Paper Print Collection in the Library of Congress, Washington, Library of Congress, 1985, p. 85. Note that although that description appears on the website of the Library of Congress, it is not entirely accurate. The document does not show the dedication of a bridge.
