Montreal Alderman, circa 1927. My grandfather, Jules Crepeau, Director of City Services. In the big hat.
Well, odd. Jules on the right is wearing a style of hat that I can't find anywhere on the Internet, a kind of bowler top hat.
The exact same style Thomas Wells is wearing in this picture... Is it a Montreal Style? Probably not. I'll have the men both wearing this hat in my play, Milk and Water: good symbolically.
They are essentially the same man, one French, One English, one a Civil Servant, one a Business man.
