Works include "Arrival of Madame Champlain at Quebec, 1624 [should be 1620]"; "Reception of the Marquis de Tracy and the Intendant Talon by Msgr. Laval 1665"; "The march past of the historic armies, 1908"; "Champlain at the court of Henry IV, 1608"; "Jacques Cartier relating his story to Francis I, 1634"; and "The Arrival of the Ursulines, 1639". All works are by Frank Craig (1874-1918).
