EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Franz Xavier Habermann, titled 'View of a Suburb in Quebec, 1755-1779,' offers a glimpse into the colonial past of Quebec, Canada. The image, created during the 18th century, is a product of the Imperial Franciscan Academy in the Low Countries, now known as the Netherlands. The meticulously detailed etching portrays a suburban scene, with a road junction serving as the focal point. Buildings line the streets, their red-roofed townhouses and white exteriors reflecting the European influence on the New World. Men and women, dressed in the fashion of the time, can be seen engaging in daily activities in the foreground, adding a touch of liveliness to the scene. The etching showcases the urban development of Quebec during the colonial period, with the use of water transport and road transport evident in the image. A man and a woman are depicted speaking near a road junction, while others are shown traveling along the streets. The buildings, with their intricate designs and ornate details, are a testament to the architectural prowess of the time. The etching's rich colors and use of watercolor paint add depth and texture to the image, bringing the scene to life. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is the current home of this historical masterpiece, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The 'View of a Suburb in Quebec, 1755-1779' is a valuable addition to any collection of colonial art or Canadian heritage, offering a unique perspective into the past.
