EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases the awe-inspiring moment of "Heroic Defence" by Madeleine de Vercheres and her brothers in 1692. Created around 1920, this colour lithograph by Henry Sandham beautifully captures the essence of bravery and resilience. Set against the backdrop of Montreal, Canada, the image transports us back to a significant chapter in Canadian history. Dressed in traditional costumes and armed with muskets, Madeleine and her brothers stand united as they repulse an attack on their settlement along the St. Lawrence River. This remarkable display of courage symbolizes not only the strength of these settlers but also represents the indomitable spirit that defined early Canadians. Facing off against Iroquois warriors who sought to challenge their presence on North American soil, Madeleine's heroic defence became a testament to Canadian resilience during a time when survival was paramount. As we gaze upon this historic scene, we are reminded of Canada's rich heritage and its place within the broader narrative of America's continent. The image serves as a powerful reminder that heroes can emerge from unexpected places and that ordinary individuals have often played extraordinary roles in shaping our collective history. This print is part of a private collection and was originally published in TC & EC Jack's "Romance of Canada" in 1910. Its vibrant colours bring life to an important moment frozen in time – one that continues to inspire generations with its tale of valour amidst adversity.
