Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Crusaders of New France Engraving from a painting in the Town Hall of St. Malo, France. Stephen Leacock, in The Mariner of St. Malo, says that it was painted probably in 1839, but that we have no means of telling hew like or unlike Cartier it may be. An accidental discovery of recent years seems to confirm in some degree its genuineness. In the autumn of 1908 an ancient house in the fishing village of Cap-des-Rosiers, near the mouth of the St. Lawrence, was torn down. In the process of demolition a dummy window was disclosed containing a wooden medallion, on which was carved in relief the portrait of a man whose features bore a strong resemblance to those of the St. Malo portrait. The initials J. C. and the date 1704 were carved upon the back. The medallion would appear to have figured as the stern shield of some French vessel wrecked probably upon the Gaspe coast. As it must have been made long before the St. Malo portrait was painted, the resemblance of the two faces perhaps indicates the existence of some definite and genuine portrait of Cartier of which the record has been lost.
