EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century woodcut reproduction, titled "EXPL2A-00295" takes us back to the early days of Champlains Quebec fort in 1613. The print showcases a rich tapestry of historical elements that bring this American frontier settlement to life. In this intricate illustration, we can see the dwellings (C, D) nestled within the protective walls of the fortress. A drawbridge (I) spans over a moat (M), serving as both an entry point and a defensive measure against potential threats. A cannon (N) stands tall, symbolizing the military presence necessary for survival during those times. Amidst all these practicalities, there is also beauty in this scene. A garden (O) flourishes with vibrant colors and lush greenery, providing sustenance and solace amidst the harsh realities of colonial life. Samuel de Champlain's meticulous drawing has been lovingly hand-colored by skilled artisans, adding depth and character to every detail captured on paper. This artwork serves as a valuable document from history—a testament to exploration and discovery in North America during the 17th century. As we gaze upon this vintage print, it transports us back to French Canada's early days along the Saint Lawrence River—the birthplace of New France. It reminds us of our roots and offers a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten.
