(Click on the links to view other engravings by Le Moyne) (Link 1) (Link 2) French Description: "In order that the game lasted longer, they prepared it in the following way. They pushed four large wooden forked stakes into the earth and laid sticks over these like a grate onto which they laid out the game and fish. Beneath this they build a fire, the smoke from which hardens all the food. They were very careful to ensure it was dried out really well so that it would not rot, as can be seen in this picture. I believe these food supplies were prepared in this way to help them through the winter during which they lived in the woods."
