Meeting on the river
This turn-of-the-20th-century watercolour by Canadian artist Walter Baker depicts the arrival of Cartier’s three ships at the site that would later become Québec City. We can see canoes with Indigenous people accompanying them. The mound in the background is Cape Diamant, where Québec City was established.
