EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the enchanting streets of old French Quebec. The image showcases an exquisite Old French House, nestled on St. Lewis Street, directly opposite the iconic St. Louis Hotel. The house itself exudes a sense of history and grandeur, with its charming architecture and intricate details that have stood the test of time. It is no wonder that this building served as the headquarters for Montcalm, a significant figure during this period. L. P. Vallee, a talented Canadian photographer active in Quebec during the late 19th century, skillfully captured this moment on an albumen silver print between 1865 and 1875. His expertise shines through as he expertly frames the scene, highlighting both the beauty of the house and its prominent location within this historic neighborhood. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages traversed these cobblestone streets and whispers of French heritage filled the air. This image serves as a reminder of our rich cultural past and invites us to appreciate not only architectural marvels but also their historical significance.
