Vuë de la haute Ville a Quebec avec la Place pour aller a Cavalier du Moulin. = Prospect der obern Stadt zu Quebec auf dem Plaz wo man nach dem Mühlen Cavalier gehet. / Gravé par Francois Xav. Habermann.
View of a crowded town square in upper Québec City, Québec. Pedestrians can be seen carrying goods, conversing and guiding a horse-drawn wagon. A group of soldiers is also shown leading what appears to be several prisoners past several onlooking hunters.; Part of a series of imagined views of North American cities titled 'Collection des Prospects' by Franz Xaver Habermann (1721-1796) and Balthasar Friedrich Leizelt (1755-1812) that were issued in Augsburg, Germany around the time of the American Revolution.; This is a fictitious representation of Québec City that likely borrowed features from several unidentified views of major European cities.; "Vuë de la haute Ville a Quebeck." appears written in reverse along the upper margin.
