View of the Collège des Jésuites and its church
This engraving shows the Collège des Jésuits and its church in Québec City after the Conquest. It was made by Richard Short, a British naval officer stationed in Québec City who had exceptional artistic talent. If you look closely at the buildings, you can see the holes left by cannonballs in the roofs and walls.
