EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "NEW FRANCE: GRAIN MILL" takes us back in time to 17th-century New France, a French colony located along the picturesque Saint Lawrence River. The image showcases a seigneurial grain mill, an essential structure in the agrarian society of that era. In this detailed drawing by C. W. Jefferys from 1942, we see the wind-driven mill standing tall against the backdrop of lush green fields. Its sturdy wooden construction and large rotating blades evoke a sense of both power and tranquility. This grain mill served as a vital resource for tenants who were obliged to grind their harvested grains into flour. The artist's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate the architectural intricacies of this historic landmark. From its towering height to its rustic charm, every line drawn by Jefferys transports us back centuries ago when life revolved around agriculture and communal obligations. This print not only captures the essence of New France but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity harnessing nature's forces for survival. It reminds us of our rich cultural heritage and how communities relied on such mills for sustenance during challenging times. Whether you are an art enthusiast or history buff, this remarkable piece offers a glimpse into our past while celebrating the resilience and resourcefulness of those who came before us in shaping our world today.
