EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Canadian history. Bombled Louis (1862 - 1927) depicts the legendary French governor, Louis de Frontenac (1622-1698), receiving an English emissary's demand to surrender Quebec without resistance in 1690. In response, Frontenac defiantly declares, "It is by the mouth of my guns that I will answer your master". The image showcases the intense rivalry between the French and British colonial powers during this era. It symbolizes the unwavering determination of Frontenac to protect his beloved city from foreign invasion. Eugene Guenin's "Histoire de la Nouvelle France" serves as the historical backdrop for this powerful scene. The photograph itself is part of a private collection and has been preserved over time. As we observe this historic moment frozen in time, we are reminded of Canada's rich past and its enduring spirit. This image represents more than just a clash between nations; it embodies the struggle for independence and sovereignty on North American soil. From Brittany, France to Quebec, Canada, this photograph encapsulates international relations at their most critical juncture. It stands as a testament to both French resilience and British ambition within the context of colonialism. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in Canadian history—a reminder that even when faced with overwhelming odds, courage can prevail against all odds.
