This etching shows a quiet Quebec harbor at dusk. Boats line the water. A few buildings sit along the shore. Dark trees frame the scene. Neilson made this during a 1910 visit. He used three etching tools to carve lines into metal. Then he pressed damp paper onto the plate to print it. Try printing your own version at home using drypoint.
