Scenes on the Cascapediac River, Lower Canada: wooden houses erected for Princess Louise and her ladies, 1881. Engraving from a sketch by Lord Archibald Campbell. 'As for the Cascapediac, a famous salmon river amidst picturesque and romantic foreign scenery, its geographical situation has been explained to lie in that part of the Province of Quebec, on the right or east shore of the wide estuary of the St. Lawrence...The peninsula of Gaspé, in which this territory ends on the shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, is separated from New Brunswick by the Bay of Chaleur, and this receives the Cascapediac, the Metapediac, the Restigouche, and several other streams, inviting to the tourist and to the sportsman...[Our sketch] shows the wooden cottages that were put up for the accommodation of Princess Louise and her ladies, in the hope that her Royal Highness would be able to revisit the spot in the summer of this year'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
