EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1740 takes us back to the heart of Quebec, a bustling colony in New France during the 18th century. The print showcases the rich tapestry of life in this historic city, offering a glimpse into its vibrant past. In the foreground, we see a seminary nestled along the banks of the majestic St. Lawrence River. Its imposing presence reflects both religious and educational significance within this French stronghold. Nearby, a redoubt stands as a symbol of defense and protection for the growing settlement. The image also highlights key landmarks that shaped Quebec's identity at that time. The magnificent Cathedral dominates the skyline with its grandeur, while Hotel Dieu serves as an essential hospital for both settlers and indigenous peoples alike. Further exploration reveals various structures representing different aspects of colonial life: Forts built by European powers seeking control over North America; Jesuit establishments dedicated to spreading Catholicism among Indigenous communities; and Bishop's House serving as an administrative center for ecclesiastical affairs. As we immerse ourselves in this engraving, it becomes evident that Quebec was not just any ordinary colony but rather an integral part of France's empire-building efforts in North America. This print captures Canada's early history on American soil—a testament to its enduring legacy on our continent.
