Collection of photographs received by Abraham Livinson from various sources. Some of the photographs are undated.

The third series includes a number of views of monuments designed by Québec artist Louis-Philippe Hébert. The third series also includes letters that were enclosed with photographs sent to Abraham Livinson.
