Created by Thomas Jefferys, this detailed topographical map showcases General Wolfe's strategic blockade of Quebec against the French under Montcalm during the French and Indian War. The image captures the essence of warfare and strategy as it depicts Vice Admiral Saunders leading his navy along the St. Lawrence River while Major General Wolfe commands his army on land. The settlement of Quebec stands prominently in the background, symbolizing both British colonial ambitions and French resistance. Brigadier Generals Townshend and Monckton can be seen coordinating tactical movements with their troops on the Plains of Abraham, where one decisive battle would determine control over Canada.
