EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the grandeur of the Column erected at St. Foye, Near Quebec, in memory of the French and English soldiers who bravely fought and fell during the second siege of the city in 1760. The monument stands tall at 60 ft., constructed of cast iron bronzed and resting on a stone base, with a draped statue of Bellona in bronze adorning its crown.
The intricate details on the pedestal include reliefs depicting the names of General Murray, who led the defence, and Commander Levis of the French troops. Designed by architect M. Charles Baillargis, this monument symbolizes unity and remembrance between two opposing forces.
Inaugurated with great pomp by Lord Monck, Governor-General of Canada, this monument serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and valor displayed on both sides during that historic battle. The gift from Prince Napoleon adds an international touch to this memorial site.
As we gaze upon this engraving from a photograph by M. Livernois, we are transported back to a time when conflicts shaped nations but also brought about moments of reconciliation and tribute to fallen heroes. This column stands as a testament to history etched in metal and stone for generations to come.
