This great view of Quebec was engraved for the Royal Magazine by Hulett. The December 1759 issue contains a map of the St. Laurence describing the siege of Quebec (ROYMAG-6); this view is likely from the same issue. The perspective is from the river with one large 3-masted ship and two local sailboats in the foreground with the city and its large buildings well rendered. A scarce issue from this uncommon magazine.
