View of northwestern Québec City, seen from the Saint-Charles River
This peaceful landscape, depicted from the banks of the Saint-Charles River in 1761, shows how life in Québec City was slowly returning to normal after the Conquest. People out for a stroll chat along the riverbanks, while barges work busily nearby. The city lies behind. We can make out certain details, including a shipyard, ramparts and a British flag.
