EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing Britain's first footing in Quebec. The illustration, taken from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation circa 1923, beautifully depicts the surrender of Quebec to British privateers under the command of David, Louis, and Thomas Kirke on July 19th, 1629. The scene is brought to life by Richard Caton Woodville II (1856-1927), who skillfully portrays Samuel de Champlain handing over control of Quebec to the triumphant British forces. This significant event marked a turning point in the struggle between France and Britain for dominance over North America during the Thirty Years' War. The lithograph showcases not only historical figures but also provides glimpses into Native American culture with its depiction of indigenous people present during this crucial moment. It serves as a reminder that this encounter had far-reaching consequences for both European powers and native communities. Preserved within a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this image offers us an invaluable glimpse into seventeenth-century history. Its inclusion in Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts and historians alike to appreciate Woodville's masterful engraving technique while delving into this fascinating chapter in colonial history.
