Commemorating the arrival of Jacques Cartier
After Cartier’s voyages to Canada, it was not until Samuel de Champlain arrived and founded Québec City in 1608 that the French settled permanently in the area. This postcard was produced for Québec City’s tercentenary in 1908. The drawing is made up of visual elements copied from great paintings of Jacques Cartier.
