View of the cathedral, Collège des Jésuites and the Recollect church
This engraving shows a gathering of British soldiers in Québec City just after the Conquest, near the Collège des Jésuites. The piece shows many details from the era’s daily life. In the background are several destroyed buildings, Jesuits walking near the ruins of their college, and a French colonist and his son watching the military deployment.
