Saint-Joseph-de-la-Pointe-Lévy Church
In 1840, a book entitled Canadian Scenery Illustrated was published. Containing dozens of engravings based on the work of artist William Henry Bartlett, it featured landscapes from various parts of Canada. Among them is this engraving, said to depict a church around Lévy Point, across from Québec City. However, archivists have never been able to identify this church, which has a most unusual architectural style.
