This depiction of the Nouvelle-Lorette fort was taken from the book Le Sault-au-Récollet : ses rapports avec les premiers temps de la colonie : mission-paroisse (Sault-au-Récollet: its relationship with the early days of the colony: a mission-parish) by Charles-Philippe Beaubien, parish priest of Sault-au-Récollet, published in 1898.
