Engraving of a Wood Depot on the St Lawrence River near the City of Quebec, 1850
About the Item
A color engraving from the 19th century, with the scene described as "Wood depot on the St Lawrence River near the city of Quebec, years 1850."
The artists involved in the creation of this print are W.H. Bartlett and H. Adlard. W.H. Bartlett is the artist who created the original drawing, which H. Adlard then engraved.
William Henry Bartlett (1809–1854) was a British artist known for his detailed steel engravings, often based on his own sketches from extensive travels. His works commonly featured landscapes and city views, which were then engraved by others, such as Henry Adlard, who was also a skilled engraver of the period.
This particular print likely served as an illustration for a book or publication about the region, as Bartlett's works were often included in travel books. It depicts a wood depot, which was an area where timber was stored before being transported, reflecting the importance of the lumber industry in Canada during the 19th century. The St. Lawrence River was a critical trade route, and Quebec City was a major hub for the timber trade.
The presence of ships and boats suggests the movement of timber along the river. The engraving is rich in detail, showing the natural environment and the commercial activities that were characteristic of the era, providing a historical snapshot of the economic life along the St. Lawrence River during the mid-19th century.

- "The Battle of Bunker's Hill, Near Boston" Engraving by James Mitan, 1801By John TrumbullLocated in Colorado Springs, COThis dramatic Revolutionary War engraving of the Battle of Bunker Hill is after the famous 1785 oil-on-canvas by John Trumbull. Capturing the intensity of the battle, the engraving centers on Major John Small restraining a “lobster-back” from bayoneting Major General Joseph Warren. Warren lies mortally wounded in the midst of chaos around him. In the background, British forces are seen cresting the last defenses of the brave, yet green army of Colonial soldiers. The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought on June 17, 1775, in the early stages of the American Revolutionary War. The battle is named after Bunker Hill in Charlestown, Massachusetts. Although it was the original objective of both the Colonial and British troops, the area was only peripherally involved in the battle. Rather, the majority of the combat took place on the adjacent Breed’s Hill. The battle pitted a more organized British force against a young and inexperienced American militia. Although considered a tactical victory for the British, it came at the cost of considerable casualties, including a large number of officers. The battle demonstrated that the inexperienced American militia was able to stand up to the British army troops in battle. The battle results discouraged the British from any further frontal attacks against well-defended front lines. American casualties were comparatively fewer, although their losses included Gen. Joseph Warren. During the battle, the patriot-turned-painter John Trumbull (1756-1843) was stationed in Roxbury on the far side of Boston, where he could hear the sounds of fighting. In late 1785, Trumbull decided to devote himself to the depiction of Revolutionary War scenes, a series of eight epic pictures. From the beginning, Trumbull intended for the paintings to be later engraved for sale. Trumbull began the oil-on-canvas of The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker’s Hill and The Death of General Montgomery in the Attack of Quebec, in the studio of Benjamin West in London. Bunker’s Hill was completed in March 1786; Trumbull started Attack of Quebec in February 1785 and finished it before he brought it to Paris in 1786. He then started The Declaration of Independence at Thomas Jefferson's house in Paris. As soon as Bunker’s Hill was completed, Trumbull searched for a suitable engraver in London. He was unsuccessful, as many British engravers were nervous about engraving an American battle...Category
