The narrows at Lake Saint-Charles
This superb piece by John Philip Bainbridge depicts the peaceful Lake Saint-Charles, just a few kilometres north of Québec City. This lake was very popular with fishing enthusiasts in the mid-19th century. City folk and Indigenous residents of Lorette, now Wendake, fished side by side.
