Help to identify artist / lithograph

Hello,

Actual size 10.25" h x 21.25" w
Mondrell, ? (Ladeous)? can't find that though.
Other name is not clear

thank you

 

There appears to be something written on the bottom left and right. May we see both please? In good quality close-up photographs?

Debora

 

It’s a woodcut

 

Montreal?
I think the name in the second photo starts with Maison (House).

Tagging our Montreal resident @komokwa .

 

I think it says Montreal Lookout

 

You're right, it does seem to say that.

 

From Mount Royal then.

Debora

This is the best I can get with glare from glass and seems smudged as they sign in pencil.

 

Interesting! Not sure how you can tell but it's from Montreal friend.
Thank you!

 

The Cartier or Victoria bridge in background I think?

 

Second word (surname?) in the last pic starts with Quin?

 

I see Mendrell, Leckous.

 

Here's a view of Montreal taken from Mount Royal in about 1940:
