Montréal, in every season
What the drawing shows
Every card brings together the outline of Mount Royal and its cross, the dome of Saint Joseph's Oratory, the leaning tower of the Olympic Stadium and the Old Port big wheel. In the foreground, a row of colourful façades with their outdoor staircases, the corner dépanneur and a bagel shop sign.
The same scene shifts from one season to the next: summer greens, autumn oranges, the muted blue of winter and the clear light of spring.
Four seasons, four gifts
- Spring Terraces reopening, Mount Royal turning green and the first bikes in the streets: the card of Montréal's renewal.
- Summer Festivals, Sunday tam-tams and evenings on balconies: the memory of a Montréal summer.
- Autumn Mount Royal in red and gold and the start of term at McGill or UdeM: the city's most photogenic season.
- Winter The Mount Royal cross shining above snowy rooftops: the gift for a Christmas away from Montréal.

Behind Klemstudio is Clément, an illustrator based in Montréal. Each city is drawn one by one in flat design: simple shapes and flat colours, so you recognise Montréal at first glance.
The drawing is vector-based: it stays perfectly sharp, from the small postcard to the poster. Montréal belongs to the « One city, four seasons » collection, with Montréal, Québec City, Trois-Rivières, Sherbrooke and the Plateau.
