Wood depot on the anse au Foulon beach
In this watercolour, James Pattison Cockburn again captures the heyday of the timber trade at anse au Foulon, Sillery, in 1830. Behind the people, we see logs being stored in “Wolfe’s Cove,” named for the famous British general who captured Québec City. In the distance, we can admire the houses of Québec City and the boats in the cove.
