Les cloturages
The Ploughing - Seeding Time - Fence Time (diorama)

By Archélas Poulin (1892-1969); Woburn, Quebec; metal, wood, glass, and cloth. CMC 86-178

Created by one of Quebec's most important folk artists, this diorama depicts three aspects of rural labour in nineteenth century Quebec. As with other dioramas made by this artist, this particular piece is evidence of Poulin's artistic abilities and his fascination with a way of life that has now disappeared.
