Image of the Month

Cornelius Krieghoff (1815–1872) painted numerous scenes of country life in 19th century Canada, mostly around Montreal and Quebec City. Note the two sleighs, which were common modes of travel in the winter. The one on the right looks like a “Portland Cutter” a widely used sleigh in Canada and the northern U.S. It originated in Maine. The low-slung “carriole” on the left was a more traditional local design. Many were built by Léon D’Amours of Trois-Pistoles, Quebec. The man confronting the dog has a bottle in one hand an a fiddle in the other, both essential for a house party.
