EDITORS COMMENTS
This triptych, taken from the collection of Rev. Isaac Taylor's "Scenes in America," showcases breathtaking views of Quebec, Canada, during the 18th century. The central image (67) depicts the picturesque scene of Quebec City on the St. Lawrence River, with its grand stone fortifications and bustling harbor activity. The inhabitants of the city can be seen riding on horseback, traveling in horse-drawn sleighs and carioles, and going about their daily lives on the icy terrain. The second image (68) commemorates the historic event of General James Wolfe's attack on Quebec via the Abraham Heights in 1759. The engraving captures the intensity and drama of the battle, with soldiers and their horses charging up the steep cliffs, ready to claim victory. The third image (69) offers a stunning representation of Montmorency Falls, a breathtaking waterfall located near Quebec City. The hand-colored copperplate engraving beautifully captures the power and majesty of the falls, as the water cascades down the rugged cliffs, creating a mesmerizing display of nature's grandeur. These views provide a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of Quebec during the 18th century, offering both amusement and instruction for little "tarry-at-home travelers." The intricate details and vibrant colors of the engravings serve as a testament to the skill and artistry of the time, making this a valuable educational resource for children and history enthusiasts alike.
