What the image shows
This is an engraved panoramic view of the city of Quebec seen from the river, with a rocky headland on the left crowned by fortifications and a line of buildings and a church spire along the waterfront. In the foreground, several sailing ships with furled and unfurled sails ride at anchor on the water, with smaller boats nearby, under a sky of rolling, hatched clouds. The print carries a bilingual English and French title in the lower margin, with a line of engraved lettering beneath it.Described automatically by a vision model; may contain mistakes.
