EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 17th century, showcasing a hand-colored woodcut reproduction of an ancient document. The image portrays Hochelaga, known today as Montreal, depicted as a Native American village on Lescarbot's map from 1609. This vintage artwork offers a glimpse into the rich history of Canada and its indigenous peoples. The illustration transports us to the frontier days of North America when explorers and settlers were venturing into uncharted territories. It captures the essence of a bygone era, highlighting the unique blend of French colonial influence and Aboriginal culture that shaped this region. The intricate details in this art piece allow us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such historical maps during that time period. From the carefully drawn buildings within the village to the flowing St Lawrence River nearby, every element tells a story about early Canadian exploration. As we admire this remarkable snapshot from history, we are reminded of how far our society has come while also acknowledging and honoring those who came before us. This image serves as a testament to both Indigenous heritage and European colonization in North America—a visual representation of our shared past
