EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Vue de la Rue des Recolets de Quebec" takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th-century Quebec City. Published in the 1770s by Franz Xavier Habermann, this exquisite print offers a glimpse into daily life during the colonial era. The scene depicted showcases a vibrant cityscape filled with activity and diversity. French soldiers can be seen patrolling the streets, reminding us of Canada's rich military history and its European influences. The picturesque charm of this Canadian town is evident through its charming architecture and lively street scene. As we immerse ourselves in this historical image, it becomes apparent that Quebec was a melting pot of cultures even then. Canadians from all walks of life coexisted harmoniously in this North American city, creating a unique blend of traditions and customs. This engraving not only captures the essence of urban life but also serves as a testament to the significance of Quebec within the larger context of North America. It reminds us that long before modern cities emerged on this continent, there were thriving communities like Quebec that played an integral role in shaping our shared history. With its meticulous details and vibrant colours, this print from Bridgeman Images allows us to travel back in time and experience firsthand what life was like on Rue des Recolets - an enchanting journey into Canada's past.
