EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 1600s, showcasing Champlain's settlement in Nova Scotia. The image depicts Samuel de Champlain's fort at Port Royal, now known as Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. Hand-colored with intricate details, this woodcut illustration from the 19th century beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era. The village nestled within this vintage scene exudes an air of heritage and tradition. It serves as a poignant reminder of the historic significance that shaped Canada's colonial past. As we gaze upon this fortified town, we are transported to the 17th century when French influence permeated North America. Champlain's presence is palpable in every brushstroke of this artwork. With his visionary leadership and unwavering determination, he established New France on these very shores. This settlement became a cornerstone for future Canadian history and played a pivotal role in shaping French Canada. Nova Scotia's rich cultural tapestry comes alive through this portrayal of Annapolis Royal - once known as Port Royal - where art merges seamlessly with history. Its strategic location along the Atlantic coast made it an important hub for trade and exploration during those early years. As we admire this evocative print, let us reflect upon our shared past and honor those who paved the way for our present-day nationhood. Let it serve as a testament to resilience and perseverance while reminding us of the enduring legacy left behind by Samuel de Champlain and his fellow settlers in Nova Scotia
