About this piece

Two views of Canada, original steel engravings by Lemaitre, each headed "Canada" and printed in France around 1850. The sheet shows "Vannes sur le Canal Rideau, près Bytown" at the left and "Habitation du Juge Haliburton" at the right.

The first plate looks along the Rideau Canal near Bytown, as Ottawa was then called. A paddle steamer lies in the water in front of a set of stone-walled locks, with the flights of the canal stepping up into the background between steep, wooded rock faces. A small pavilion-like building with a verandah stands at the water's edge at the left. The canal was built between 1826 and 1832 as a military route between Montreal and Kingston.

The second plate shows the house of Judge Haliburton, a low, symmetrical building with a columned doorway and chimneys at either end, standing among tall conifers and garden shrubs, with two small figures in front. Thomas Chandler Haliburton, a Nova Scotian judge and author, is best known for his "Sam Slick" stories.

The pair comes from a set of small Canadian views made in France for a European audience.
