Antoine de La Mothe, Sieur de Cadillac, a French colonial administrator in America, is depicted leading his party of one hundred men onto the shores of Detroit. Accompanying him are his young son and two missionaries, highlighting the importance of religion in early colonial settlements. The detailed drawing by C. W. Jefferys showcases the significant role played by Sieur de Cadillac in establishing a French presence in North America. Dressed in a distinguished uniform, he stands tall as a symbol of authority and leadership amidst the vast wilderness. The flag fluttering proudly above them signifies their claim to this new territory and their determination to build a prosperous colony. The artist's skillful use of watercolors brings life to this historical scene, transporting us back to an era when exploration and colonization were at their peak. This print serves as a reminder of the brave individuals who ventured into unknown lands with hopes for adventure, wealth, and religious freedom. It pays homage to Sieur de Cadillac's legacy as an influential figure who laid the foundation for future generations on this land.
