THE RUINS OF THE TROIS-RIVIÈRES CHURCH

Built in 1714 and having undergone multiple transformations, the parish church is depicted here after the terrible fire that struck a large part of the city of Trois-Rivières on June 22, 1908.

With respect to the artist, Rodolphe Duguay (1891-1973), he produced this charcoal sketch inspired by a photograph at the request of Msgr. Albert Tessier in 1928.
