1. [3] -  “Illustrator Charles W. Jeffreys [sic] evoked the

                        [First Nations period] in his depiction of an Algonquin

                        tobacco ceremony held near the Falls.  In spite of its somewhat

                        Hollywood-like character, this watercolour, painting around

                        1930, does shoe native people practicing their religion near the

                        main Falls…..The tobacco ceremony portrayed in this Jeffreys

                        painting was described by Samuel de Champlain.”

2. [3] -  “Charles W. Jeffreys presented his image of Champlain’s passage

                        in an illustration of the explorer setting up [astrolabe] along the

                        Ottawa River.”

2. [4] -  “Library and Archives Canada has a photograph of another,

                        almost identical work by the same artist, catalogued as:

                        Champlain taking his position at the Chaudiere Falls in 1613. [see note

1. [10]]

                        The referent to Chaudiere Falls in this title suggests that Jeffreys

                        placed Champlain at that exact spot on the Ottawa River in the

                        above illustration.  While the dazed expression of the aboriginal

                        is both unrealistic and unfortunate, the moccasins and leggings worn

                        by Champlain are genuine…”

4. [10] -  “4.  Library and Archives Canada, mikan 2956113.  It appears

                        that this work was accidentally destroyed [Chateau Laurier?];

                        ….The work in the photograph is almost identical to the one in

                        Jeffreys’ book, reproduced above.”
