EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1535, during the age of discovery, as we witness French explorer Jacques Cartier's encounter with the Huron-Iroquois village of Hochelaga. The illustration by C. W. Jefferys beautifully captures this historic moment in time. In the image, a group of men can be seen standing amidst the lush greenery that surrounds them. They are surrounded by Native Americans from the Huron-Iroquois tribe, who graciously welcome Cartier and his crew into their village. This meeting would prove to be significant for both parties involved. It was during this encounter that Cartier learned a valuable piece of information from these indigenous people - they informed him that silver and gold could be found nearby. This newfound knowledge sparked excitement and curiosity within Cartier's exploration party, igniting dreams of wealth and prosperity. The scene depicted here showcases not only an exchange between two different cultures but also represents a pivotal moment in history when European explorers were venturing into uncharted territories in search of riches and new opportunities. Through this remarkable artwork by C. W. Jefferys, we are transported back to a time when exploration was at its peak, offering us a glimpse into one man's quest for fortune in the vast wilderness known as the New World.
