Monument to Wolfe and Montcalm, Québec City
Inaugurated in 1828, this monument was intended as a symbol of reconciliation between the French and the English. It is dedicated to the memory of the Marquis de Montcalm and General Wolfe, both of whom died in the 1759 Battle of the Plains of Abraham. It bears a Latin inscription, meaning “Their courage gave them the same death, the same fame and posterity, the same monument.”
Robert Wallis d’après William Henry Bartlett
