40. Quebec. A View of the Taking of Quebec, September 13th 1759. Vue de la Prise de Québec le 13 Septembre, 1759. 181⁄2 in. long by 12% tall, with 1/4 to 1⁄2 inch margin, coloured by hand; together with a copy of the London Magazine reprint.

This is a perspective view, showing in the foreground the British forces being brought from the ships and landed at the foot of the heights. The soldiers are seen scaling the heights contested by the French. At the top the battle is in full progress. The view of the City in the middle ground and the surrounding country is fairly well drawn, but the foreground is ludicrously out of proportion. This rare print is apparently the original from which the reduced copy (10 x 63⁄4) in the London Magazine, 1760, was made; a copy of which is included with this original now in possession of the authors.
