EDITORS COMMENTS
Alone across the trackless snow, a captivating glimpse into the daring exploration of 17th-century North America. This mesmerizing colour lithograph, created by Joseph Ratcliffe Skelton and housed in a private collection, transports us back to an era of adventure and discovery. The image depicts Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, a French explorer who played a significant role in expanding the British Empire's reach. As we peer into this historical snapshot from H E Marshall's 'Our Empire Story, ' we are reminded of the audacity and resilience required to traverse vast snowy landscapes. La Salle stands as a solitary figure against the backdrop of winter's icy embrace. Clad in snowshoes that enable him to navigate treacherous terrain with relative ease, he embodies both determination and courage. The artist masterfully captures his unwavering spirit as he forges ahead on his journey through New France. This print not only celebrates La Salle's remarkable expedition but also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of exploration itself. It invites us to reflect on our own capacity for discovery and reminds us of the rich tapestry woven by those who came before us. With its vibrant hues and evocative imagery, this artwork is an invitation to embark on our own mental voyage through history – where stories collide with colonialism, cultures intertwine amidst frozen landscapes, and heroes emerge from tracks left behind in the snow.
