EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the old view of Quebec in 1730. The image, originally featured in Popples American Atlas, showcases the charm and grandeur of this historic city nestled along the St Lawrence River. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported to a bygone era when Quebec was still a French colony known as New France. The scene is bustling with activity, with ships gracefully sailing on the river and dotting its shores. The landscape exudes tranquility, with rolling hills and lush greenery framing the cityscape. It's fascinating to witness how transportation played a vital role even then, as these sailing ships served as lifelines for trade and communication between Quebec and other parts of Canada. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this eighteenth-century snapshot. Every intricate detail has been meticulously captured by Edmund Ollier's skilled hand, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural beauty of Quebec's buildings and its geographical features. As we delve into this historical gem from Cassells History of the United States, it serves as a reminder that cities like Quebec have evolved over centuries while retaining their unique cultural heritage. This print not only offers us a glimpse into our past but also celebrates our shared history as Canadians.
