EDITORS COMMENTS
The Quebec Driving Club meeting at the Place d'Armes, captured in this exquisite print engraved by J. Smillie Jr. , takes us back to a wintry day in 1826. The scene is alive with the charm and elegance of a bygone era as members of the club gather in their carriages and sleds, ready for an exhilarating drive through the snow-covered countryside. The picturesque town of Quebec provides a stunning backdrop, with its historic church towering over the landscape. The snowy road glistens under the winter sun, inviting these adventurous souls to embark on their journey. The air is filled with excitement as they prepare to explore Canada's scenic beauty from the comfort of their sleighs. This image transports us to a time when horse-drawn transportation was not only practical but also a symbol of status and sophistication. It reminds us of how travel used to be slow-paced yet enchanting, allowing people to truly appreciate their surroundings. Engraved on laid paper dating back to 1824, this print showcases remarkable attention to detail and craftsmanship. Published by D. Smillie & Sons in Quebec, it serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece. As we gaze upon this timeless scene, we are reminded of Canada's rich heritage and its enduring love affair with winter sports. This print captures not only a moment in history but also our collective fascination with adventure and exploration.
