This large vintage photograph is a studio-mounted photo montage of the 1919-20 Club Hockey Villemay. The amateur hockey team won the championship of "la cite et du district de Levis" across the St. Lawrence River from Quebec City. The montage displays photos of the team's 13 players and 13 administrators, along with a photo of the team macot, a young child, alongside its championship trophy, the Coupe Thivierge. The name of the studio is printed in the bottom right of the photograph, though it is difficult to identify. The vintage 10 '" x 13 '" print is attached to its original cardboard backing, which measures 15 '" x 20", approximately. A rare opportunity for collectors of early Quebec amateur hockey history and vintage team photos.
