EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history, capturing the meeting between Jacques Cartier and Donnacona, a native Canadian Huron chief, on the Gaspee Peninsula in 1535. The hand-colored woodcut of a 19th-century illustration beautifully brings this encounter to life. In this image, we witness the arrival of Cartier and his fellow explorers as they step onto North American soil for the first time. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and curiosity as these adventurers embark on an extraordinary expedition into uncharted territories. Donnacona's warm embrace symbolizes not only a friendly greeting but also an exchange of cultures and ideas. This historic encounter marked the beginning of French exploration and colonization in Canada, leading to the establishment of New France. The lush surroundings depict the untamed beauty that awaited these brave colonists as they ventured further into what would become Quebec. The St Lawrence River flows gracefully nearby, offering both passage and inspiration for future expeditions seeking new trade routes such as the elusive Northwest Passage. This artwork serves as a testament to our shared human history, reminding us of those who came before us and their remarkable journeys across vast lands. It invites us to reflect upon our collective heritage while appreciating the rich diversity that has shaped North America over centuries past.
