EARLY FRENCH EXPLORERS A curious fact given ~inT~the l^rir "issue of thenc^adia^I/GebgrapfiicSr Journal is that no authentic portraits have survived of any of the early French- explorers of Canada. Of the several pictures that are supposed to represent the features of Champlain, not one js accepted to-, day by scholars as undoubtedly a true likeness. There are several pic­ tures and statues of -La Verendrye, but they are all imaginary portraits. In his case there is nothing , in his . own narrative or in the records of his contemporaries to even suggest what , manner of a man he was physi-. cally, though one cad gather a quite definite impression of his character. It is still a question if- there is a genuine portrait of La Salle ; and it is certain that there is none of Mar­ quette, Joliet,. Radison, Nicolet, Dul- hut, Allouez, or any of the. other early discoverers of Canada.
