Wolfe Monument, Quebec — Stereoview

The Wolfe Monument at Quebec, photographed as a tall stone column enclosed by pointed iron railings. A helmet-and-sword trophy crowns the column, and “WOLFE” is legible on the pedestal tablet. A steep-roofed building stands immediately behind the enclosure, with trees beyond; a man in a dark coat and hat appears at the lower right.

The yellow mount is printed “Quebec, Canada.” and “American Scenery.” Its reverse carries a catalogue headed “Quebec.”, listing views numbered 55–113. Entry 96, “Wolfe Monument,” is underlined, following the printed instruction “[SUBJECT UNDERLINED.]” This selection agrees with the name visible on the monument. No separate negative number is clearly legible in the photographs.

The neighboring catalogue entries place the card within a Quebec sequence: nos. 94 and 95 are “Wolfe and Montcalm Monument,” views A and B; no. 97 reads, with its ditto marks expanded, “Wolfe Monument and Quebec Jail”; and no. 98 is “Montcalm Cottage.” No. 97 is particularly relevant for comparison, though the buildings visible in this photograph cannot independently be identified as the jail.

Two arched-top photographic images are mounted side by side on a yellow card with rounded corners. The scans do not establish the photographer, publisher, date, or photographic process. Supplied dimensions are 6.92 × 3.46 inches (175.9 × 88.0 mm).
