EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the iconic moment when Samuel de Champlain, the renowned French explorer and cartographer, is depicted taking an observation with an astrolabe on the Ottawa River in 1613. The astrolabe, a sophisticated navigational tool used to determine latitude by measuring the angle between a celestial body and the horizon, symbolizes Champlain's dedication to precise mapping and exploration.
Champlain's keen eye for detail and commitment to scientific accuracy are evident in this scene as he carefully studies the stars above him. His pioneering spirit and thirst for discovery propelled him to explore new territories in North America, ultimately leading to his crucial role in establishing New France.
This lithograph serves as a powerful reminder of Champlain's legacy as one of Canada's founding figures and highlights his contributions to early Canadian history. The black-and-white imagery adds a timeless quality to this historical moment, emphasizing the importance of preserving our past for future generations.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness Champlain's unwavering determination and passion for exploration. It is through images like these that we can truly appreciate the courage and ingenuity of those who came before us, paving the way for future discoveries and advancements.
