          Photograph depicts a painting of a battle regiment consisting of six men holding rifles and one man looking on. Typed annotation glued to verso of photograph reads: "Le Régiment de Carignan-Salières - 1665. This famous regiment was dispatched to Canada (then called New France) by King Louis XIV and disembarked from its small sailing vessels on eastern shores in the spring of 1665. Historically it was an important event. Until then, the colonists had been obliged to provide their own defence and the French regiment was the first military protection they enjoyed."; "Le Régiment de Carignan-Salières - 1665. Ce fameux régiment fut envoyé au Canada (appelé alors Nouvelle-France) par Louis XIV. Au printemps de 1665, il débarquait sur les rivages de l'est. Jusque-là, les colons avaient dû se défendre par leurs propres moyens; c'était la première protection militaire qui leur était offerte. L'arrivée des troupes régulières ramenèrent l'espoir aux colons découragés."
