EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving captures the historic Custom House in Quebec, a symbol of colonialism and European influence in North America during the 19th century. The intricate details of the architecture showcase the grandeur and importance of this building in the bustling city.
The print evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, when France had established its presence in this new world colony. The artist from the European School has expertly depicted every aspect of the Custom House, from its ornate facade to its towering spires.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an age of exploration and conquest. The engraving is not just a representation of a physical structure, but also a window into the cultural exchange between Europe and North America.
This piece was originally featured in Hezekiah Butterworth's Zigzag Journeys in Acadia and New France, published in 1885. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and heritage, highlighting both the beauty and complexity of colonial relationships.
Overall, this engraving is not just a work of art; it is a historical document that allows us to reflect on the past while appreciating the craftsmanship and skill involved in creating such detailed prints.
