EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic beauty and grandeur of Quebec City's Durham Terrace and Citadel, as seen in the late 1800s. The image transports us back in time to an era of horse-drawn carriages, elegant Victorian architecture, and military might. The Citadel, a striking fortress atop Cap Diamant, dominates the skyline, its imposing walls and towers a testament to the city's rich history and strategic importance. Built between 1605 and 1620, the Citadel has stood as a symbol of French and later British power in North America. Durham Terrace, named after Lord Durham who visited Quebec in 1838, is a picturesque promenade that runs along the Diquemont cliff, offering breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence River and the old city below. In this photograph, we see the terrace lined with trees and dotted with elegant mansions, their facades adorned with intricate details and ornate ironwork. The horse-drawn carriages, a common mode of transportation during this period, add a sense of movement and life to the scene. The people in the photograph, dressed in their finest attire, seem to be enjoying a leisurely stroll along the terrace, taking in the stunning views and the crisp autumn air. This photograph is a precious reminder of Quebec City's past, a time when the city was a bustling hub of commerce, culture, and history. It invites us to explore the stories and secrets that lie hidden within its walls and to appreciate the beauty and resilience of this remarkable place.
