EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing Jacques Cartier, the renowned French sailor and explorer. In this poignant scene from 1535, Cartier and his exploration party find themselves plagued by sickness during their winter expedition. Seeking relief from their ailments, they gather together to fervently pray for divine intervention. The drawing by C. W. Jefferys beautifully depicts the men kneeling in humble supplication, clad in buckskin coats to shield them from the harsh Canadian winter. The image transports us back to the Age of Discovery when brave adventurers like Cartier ventured into uncharted territories with unwavering determination. As we gaze upon this snapshot of New France's early days, it is impossible not to be moved by the resilience and faith exhibited by these explorers. Their encounter with American Indians undoubtedly shaped their understanding of indigenous cultures while also highlighting the challenges faced by both sides during this era of exploration. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Jacques Cartier's indelible mark on history - an intrepid navigator who fearlessly sailed across vast oceans in search of new horizons. It invites us to reflect on our own journeys and reminds us that even amidst adversity, prayer can provide solace and hope for a brighter future.
