Preliminary, on-site, watercolour drawing, bearing the pencil inscription (recto), "View across Esplanade to Beauport Mountains (Québec City) Sept 1880", by Lucius Richard O'Brien PRCA, (1832-1899). The initial rendering or composition for the wood engraving depicted on page 52, in volume 1 of "Picturesque Canada; The Country As It Was And Is.", which publication was illustrated under the supervision of L.R. O'Brien and originally published at Toronto, by Belden Bros, in 1882. This preliminary drawing differs from the published illustration in that, in the former, the detailing of the walkway and grass (foreground), as well as the human figures (foreground and background), are not present. Also, the drawing contains two additional mortar canon (foreground), which are not present in the published illustration. Presumably, these additions and/or changes would have been incorporated into the final pen and black ink studio drawing of the scene, by L.R. O'Brien, for the preparation of the photographic image used to produce the wood engraving itself.
