EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1609, showcasing Lescarbot's map of Quebec and Tadoussac. Hand-colored with meticulous detail, this woodcut illustration from the 19th century offers a glimpse into the rich heritage and history of Canada. The image depicts a quaint village nestled along the banks of the majestic St. Lawrence River, with Quebec City proudly standing as its centerpiece. This colonial settlement, founded by Samuel de Champlain in 1608, exudes an air of tradition and charm that has endured through centuries. As we explore this vintage map, our eyes are drawn to the meandering Saguenay River flowing gracefully towards Tadoussac. The gaspee peninsula stands stoically at its mouth, reminding us of its significance in French Canadian history. With every stroke of color on this artful depiction, we can almost hear echoes from the past - whispers of bustling trade routes and tales of exploration. It serves as a testament to New France's early beginnings and its lasting impact on North America. This print is not just a visual delight; it is also an invitation to delve into Canada's fascinating past. It encapsulates the spirit of adventure that defined those who ventured across oceans to build new lives in uncharted territories like Quebec and Tadoussac. Let it transport you back in time as you uncover stories etched within these ancient streets and discover how they shaped our present-day world.
