EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable scene from the past, showcasing the resilience and ingenuity of settlers in Canada during the 19th century. In this engraving titled "Men wearing canoes at the passage of a torrent by settlers" we are transported back to London in 1842 through the lens of artist W. H. Bartlett. The image depicts a group of courageous men navigating their way through a turbulent torrent, using canoes as makeshift protective gear. These settlers, undeterred by the powerful force of nature before them, demonstrate their determination to conquer new frontiers and establish themselves in this vast land. Bartlett's attention to detail is evident as he beautifully captures both the strength of these men and the rugged beauty of Canadian scenery. The engraving showcases not only their resourcefulness but also highlights their reliance on waterways for transportation during that era. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, it serves as a reminder of Canada's colonial past and its connection with exploration and settlement. It symbolizes bravery, adaptability, and an unwavering spirit that characterized those who ventured into unknown territories seeking better lives. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings this piece to life once again, allowing us to appreciate its artistic value while reflecting on our shared history. This print stands as a testament to human resilience amidst challenging circumstances—a timeless tribute to those who shaped Canada's rich heritage.
