About the Item

Title : City of Quebec, Taken from the Harbour Description: This hand-colored lithograph, created by R.S.M. Bouchette and lithographed by Day Haghe, depicts a bustling harbor view of Quebec City as seen from the water in the early 19th century. The print captures a lively maritime scene with ships of various sizes and rowboats navigating the choppy waters. The iconic cliffs and skyline of Quebec City, complete with fortifications and prominent structures, form a striking backdrop. What makes this print interesting: 1. Historical significance: Provides a visual snapshot of Quebec's harbor and urban landscape during the early 19th century, reflecting its importance as a maritime hub. 2. Artistic craftsmanship: The dynamic interplay of ships, waves, and the cityscape demonstrates exceptional lithographic detail and hand-coloring. 3. Rare perspective: The view from the harbor offers a unique angle, highlighting Quebec City’s strategic position on the St. Lawrence River. A valuable piece for collectors of Canadian history, maritime art, or early 19th-century lithographs.
