Panoramic view 3 of Québec City and its surroundings, from the turret of the Québec City prison
Painter Henry Richard Bunnett captured part of the Plains of Abraham, seen from Québec City’s old prison. The Citadel can be seen in the background, just behind the former British Army artillery. In 1882, the building became home to a cartridge and shell factory, which would become the Dominion Arsenal in 1901. On the other side of the St. Lawrence River, we see Île d’Orléans and Lévy Point.
