Greetings Card : Cartier Visits Hochelaga
Cards from Mary Evans Picture Library
Cartier Visits Hochelaga
A man bends on one knee with his hands outstretched, with various French soldiers standing is armour behind him. From his place of focus, and lack of armour, this could be Jacques Cartier, though another man standing beside him in similar dress makes this less certain. The man is kneeling before the chief of Hochelaga village, which was populated by St. Lawrence Iroquoians, as various villagers gathered stare at the European explorers. Date: 1535

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment when Jacques Cartier, a renowned French explorer, paid a visit to the Hochelaga village in 1535. The photograph depicts a man in European attire, with his hands outstretched and bent knee, in a gesture of respect and peace. Surrounding him are several French soldiers, clad in armor, standing rigidly at attention. However, the identity of the man kneeling is not entirely clear, as another figure dressed similarly is present. This adds an intriguing layer of uncertainty to the scene. The village of Hochelaga, inhabited by the St. Lawrence Iroquoians, is situated in the background. The curious and wary villagers have gathered to observe the European intruders, their expressions a mix of curiosity, apprehension, and perhaps even awe. The St. Lawrence Iroquoians were a powerful and sophisticated Native American civilization, and their encounter with the Europeans marked a significant turning point in the history of the New World. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when two vastly different cultures came into contact for the first time. The image is a poignant reminder of the complex and often tumultuous history of exploration, colonization, and cultural exchange that followed in the wake of these initial encounters.
