View of Québec City from Lévy Point, Lower Canada
This 1830 painting by James Pattison Cockburn emphasizes Lévy Point’s rural nature. It does not show the rapid growth of business on the nearby waterfront at the time. In fact, all the coves in the region were taken over by the forestry, naval and fishing industries under the rule of the Caldwell seigniors, originally from Ireland.
