Peter Rindlisbacher giclée print of 'The Battle of Hudson Bay, 1697' presented to the Canadian War Museum, Wednesday, August 28th  2013

Picture
L-R: Dr. David Smith, Dr. Peter Macleod (Historian, Pre-Confederation, Canadian War                 Museum, Ottawa), and Dr. Chris Milligan. - - -
     Dr. MacLeod holding a giclée copy of the original oil painting (24" x 36") by Canadian Marine Artist Dr. Peter Rindlisbacher, and presented on his behalf by the authors of Check Mate!  

     Dr. Rindlisbacher donated the print to the Museum, adding in his letter, "...I was able to benefit from the years of Milligan and Smith research, and added my own careful studies of ships of that period in order to create this image of the ships at the height of the Battle.  I believe that it should be able to weather present and future criticism as a good approximation of that moment in Canada’s history.
