EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the French settlement of the Great Lakes region during the 1600s. The hand-colored woodcut showcases a 17th-century illustration, depicting the vastness and beauty of Lake Superior, Upper Michigan, and Wisconsin. The image transports us to a bygone era when America was still a wild and untamed frontier. It captures the essence of this historic period, showcasing a village or town nestled amidst the wilderness. The scene evokes feelings of nostalgia as we imagine what life must have been like for early settlers in this remote part of North America. The map serves as both an exploration tool and missionary guide, highlighting important landmarks such as forts, missions, and settlements established by Jesuit missionaries. These brave explorers ventured into uncharted territories with hopes of spreading their faith while also establishing French colonies. One cannot help but marvel at the courage and determination displayed by these pioneers who left their homeland behind to embark on an arduous journey across treacherous waters. Their efforts paved the way for future generations to thrive in this new land. As we gaze upon this vintage piece of art representing New France's rich history, it reminds us that our heritage is deeply intertwined with those who came before us. This print offers a glimpse into our past—a visual testament to the spirit of discovery that shaped our continent's destiny.
