Artist uses photo montage to show how Montreal has changed since 1832 (VIDEO)

Nothing quite shows the passage of time as effectively as a photo montage.

Dating back to 1832, artist James Fox has captured how much the city of Montreal has changed in the past 188 years.

Titled “Montreal: A Journey Through Time!,” Fox edited different pictures from atop Mont Royal showing the year, prime minister, approximate population, and gadgets of the era as a virtual time portal.
