EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece of "Histoire de l Amerique septentrionale" by Bacqueville de La Potherie, published in 1753. The intricate engraving, created by Jean Baptiste Scotin in the 18th century, is housed at Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve in Paris, France. The frontispiece depicts a scene filled with elements that evoke the spirit of exploration and trade during the early days of North America's history. A majestic ship sails through rough waters as it embarks on an expedition to this vast continent. On board, men armed with knives and various tools prepare for their journey into uncharted territories. Intriguingly, indigenous people are also present in this depiction. Native Americans stand alongside European explorers, symbolizing the exchange between different cultures and civilizations during colonization. This image highlights not only the physical voyage but also the cultural exchange that occurred during these historical periods. The artwork serves as a visual representation of Canada's rich history and its connection to both Europe and Indigenous communities. It reminds us of the significant role played by explorers like Bacqueville de La Potherie in shaping North America's destiny. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from centuries past, we are transported back to a time when brave individuals embarked on perilous journeys across treacherous seas to discover new lands and forge connections with diverse peoples.
