About Treffle Berthlaume

  • Treffle Berthlaume (June 13, 1803 – October 22, 1884) was a sculptor.
  • He was born in Havre-St.
  • Pierre, Quebec, Canada, to father Jean-Paul, a carpenter of modest means, and mother Brigitte (nĂ©e de Panne).
  • The youngest of six, and the only boy, Treffle was the only Berthlaume child to receive a formal education at Baie-Comeau High School until the age of 15, whereupon he began training in his father's craft. Perhaps best remembered for his contribution towards church carvings, Berthlaume and acquaintance François BaillairgĂ© (1759–1852) produced the Barbeau Cross, now displayed at the Church of Saint Jean on the Island of Orleans in Quebec.
  • For this, and other achievements, Treffle Berthlaume was commemorated on the Canadian 32-cent stamp in 1984, after his death one hundred years earlier.
