EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the grandeur of "The New Parliament House, Quebec" standing proudly on the site where its predecessor tragically succumbed to fire in February 1854. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, captures a significant moment in history. The new structure rises majestically against the backdrop of a clear sky, exuding strength and resilience. Its architectural details are meticulously depicted, highlighting the intricate craftsmanship that went into its construction. The artist's attention to detail allows viewers to appreciate the building's elegant facade and imposing presence. This print was originally featured in The Illustrated News of the World on October 27,1860 – a testament to its historical significance even years after completion. It serves as a reminder of Quebec's rich heritage and how it overcame adversity with determination and perseverance. As we gaze upon this engraving today, we can't help but marvel at both its artistic beauty and historical importance. It transports us back to a time when this new symbol of democracy emerged from the ashes of destruction. This image is not just an exquisite piece of art; it encapsulates a pivotal moment in Canadian history that forever shaped Quebec's landscape and identity.
