EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic engraving titled "Map of the Siege of Quebec by the British Fleet, 1670" created by the French School in the 17th century. The artwork, part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, offers an intriguing glimpse into a significant naval battle and blockade that took place on the Lawrence River. The detailed diagram depicted in this engraving vividly illustrates French cannon fire during the siege. It transports viewers back to a time when Quebec was a fortified city within French colonial territory in Canada. This image serves as a reminder of Canada's rich history and its evolution from being under French rule to becoming Canadian territory. As we explore this piece further, it becomes evident that it represents more than just one event or location. It symbolizes North America's journey towards independence and its emergence as an integral part of the American continent within the Western Hemisphere. The importance of this historical moment cannot be understated; it shaped not only Canadian history but also had far-reaching implications for all those involved. As we gaze upon this photo print, let us appreciate both its artistic beauty and its ability to transport us through time, allowing us to reflect on our shared past and celebrate our diverse heritage.
