EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant historical moment between Louis de Buade, Count of Frontenac, and William Phips, the English governor of the colony of Massachusetts. In 1690, during a meeting between the two leaders, Phips sought to negotiate with Frontenac. However, in response to Phips' proposal, Frontenac defiantly declared, "It is by the mouth of my guns that I will answer your master". This engraving from the end of the 19th century beautifully depicts this intense encounter. The French School artist Eugene Guenin skillfully captures the tension and power dynamics at play through his intricate engravings. The image not only showcases an important moment in history but also highlights international relations during this time period. It symbolizes both French-English rivalry and Native American involvement in colonial conflicts. Louis de Buade was a prominent figure in New France (Canada) during his lifetime. His bold statement reflects his determination to protect French interests against English encroachment on North American territories. This artwork serves as a reminder of the complex relationships that shaped early America's colonization efforts. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how different nations interacted and clashed over land and resources centuries ago. Stefano Bianchetti's preservation and sharing of this engraving contribute to our understanding of history while showcasing artistic talent from bygone eras.
