Another represents Hyacinthe Bellerose, a character from the novel Le canard de bois by Louis Caron. The third represents Marguerite and Philédor Beausoleil, characters from the novel Philédor Beausoleil by Pierre Chatillon, and five small characters from Québec legends. The fourth represents Jos Violon and four elves, characters from Contes de Jos Violon by Louis Fréchette. The fifth illustrates the song Un Canadian errant by Antoine Gérin-Lajoie. The sixth is inspired by the story of Le Bonhomme Sept Heures, a novel by Louis Caron, represents the young hero seated at the foot of a steel pine that stands five meters tall.
