EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative print captures a pivotal moment in Canadian history - the tragic death of Adam Dollard des Ormeaux at Montreal while fighting against the Iroquois in May 1660. The image depicts the intense battle between Dollard and his men, who bravely defended Montreal against overwhelming odds.
The Iroquois, known for their fierce warrior culture, were formidable adversaries for the French settlers in Canada during this time period. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, Dollard and his men fought valiantly to protect their settlement from the relentless attacks of the Iroquois warriors.
The scene is filled with tension and drama as both sides clash in a desperate struggle for survival. The expressions on the faces of the combatants convey a sense of fear, determination, and courage as they engage in hand-to-hand combat.
This historic event has been immortalized through this stunning photo print, which serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by early settlers in Canada to defend their homes and way of life. It is a poignant tribute to Dollard des Ormeaux and his brave companions who gave their lives in defense of Montreal against overwhelming odds.
Through this image, viewers are transported back in time to witness a crucial chapter in Canadian history that continues to resonate with significance today.
