EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the exploration of Canada by Jacques Cartier on behalf of France in 1524. Having landed at Honguedo, near present-day Gaspe, Quebec, Cartier and his crew were met by the St. Lawrence Iroquoians, a Native American tribe. In an attempt to establish diplomatic relations and assert French claim to the land, Cartier planted a 10-foot high cross, symbolizing the Christian faith. In this poignant scene, a priest kneels in prayer before the cross, with Cartier standing behind him, helmet in hand and head bowed, holding the French standard. The expedition members also kneel in prayer, demonstrating their devotion and commitment to their mission. Three curious Iroquoians observe the proceedings from a distance, witnessing the arrival of these European explorers who would forever change the course of their history. This powerful image captures the spirit of discovery, diplomacy, and faith that characterized Cartier's exploration of Canada for France.
