View of the Ursuline orphanage or convent, seen from the ramparts
This engraving is by British naval officer Richard Short, who was stationed in Québec City after the Conquest. He painted this panorama at a distance from the city. From this vantage point, you can see the Ursuline convent and its orphanage. The Ursuline religious order was founded in Québec City in 1639 by Marie de l’Incarnation.
