This illustration captures the historic moment when Jacques Cartier claimed Canada for France in the 16th century. Created by C. Dudley Tennant, this color lithograph from Newne's Pictorial Book of Knowledge brings to life the remarkable journey of Cartier, a French mariner and explorer. In this scene, we see Cartier leading his team on an expedition through the Canadian landscape. The artist skillfully portrays the vastness and beauty of North America as they navigate their way towards Montreal. The towering mountains in the background serve as a reminder of the challenges faced by these brave explorers. Cartier himself is depicted with great detail and precision, showcasing his determination and leadership qualities. His portrait exudes confidence as he plants the flag of France firmly into Canadian soil, marking it as a territory under French control. This image not only celebrates Cartier's significant contribution to exploration but also highlights how his expeditions laid the foundation for French claims to Canada. It serves as a visual testament to the courage and ambition that fueled these early European explorations across unknown lands. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of history's pivotal moments – Jacques Cartier staking France's claim on Canadian soil amidst breathtaking natural surroundings.
