EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the breathtaking Quebec Citadel as seen from the Ice-bridge. The talented photographer, L. P. Vallee, a Canadian artist active in Quebec during the late 19th century, beautifully captured this scene between 1865 and 1875 using an albumen silver print technique. The image transports us to a winter wonderland where the majestic Quebec Citadel stands tall against a backdrop of frozen beauty. The ice-bridge leading up to the fortress adds an element of intrigue and adventure to this already stunning composition. Vallee's mastery is evident in his ability to capture both the grandeur of the citadel and the delicate details of its surroundings. The play of light on snow creates a soft glow that enhances every architectural detail, making it seem almost ethereal. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we can't help but imagine what life was like during that time period - perhaps soldiers patrolling these icy grounds or locals crossing over for their daily routines. It serves as a reminder of our connection with history and how photography can preserve moments frozen in time. This remarkable piece is not only visually striking but also holds immense cultural significance as it represents Canada's rich heritage. It reminds us of our nation's resilience in harsh winters while showcasing its architectural marvels.
