EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1895, showcasing a breathtaking view of The Citadelle and the St Lawrence river in Quebec, Canada. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing architectural beauty is undeniable. The photograph captures La Citadelle, an imposing structure situated on Cap Diamant that was originally built as part of Quebec City's defensive ramparts. After the British departed in 1871, it became home to batteries of the Royal Canadian Artillery, an artillery school, and a cavalry school. This historical significance adds depth to the already awe-inspiring scene. Taken from "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago" published by George Newnes Ltd in London during that era, this monochrome print transports us back to a time when landscapes were captured with meticulous detail. The composition showcases not only the grandeur of The Citadelle but also highlights its strategic hilltop location overlooking the St Lawrence river. This natural geographical feature enhances both its defensive capabilities and aesthetic appeal. As we gaze upon this stunning snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of Quebec's rich history and architectural heritage. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity while offering us a glimpse into life during the late 19th century.
