View of Québec City in 1840
Tourists began coming to Québec City in the mid-19th century. With its superb view of Québec City, Lévy Point was a gathering place for wealthy locals and tourists alike. Some Indigenous people frequented the area in the hope of selling their crafts. This piece, which is based on a drawing by Captain Benjamin Beaufoy, shows the scene.
