"Engraving Of The Death Of General De Montcalm Quebec XIX"

Large engraving of the Death of General Montcalm, XIX engraved by G. Chevillet (Juste Chevillet) during the battle of the Plains of Abraham, Quebec against the English General Wolfe. "Death of General Montcalm killed defending Quebec in 1759 against the English he asked to be buried in a hole made by the explosion of a bomb, in the same fight was killed General Wolfe who commanded the English army; both expired from their wounds at about the same time". The exoticism of the natives and the palm tree are from Watteau's imagination. A tear through the annotation.
