EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "With a Canadian Pacific Railway Survey-Party, Rocky Mountains Division" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the arduous work of surveying in the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains. The image showcases a group of intrepid explorers from Canada's Pacific Railway survey party as they navigate their way through various obstacles. In this scene, we witness an interesting juxtaposition between man-made structures and nature's wonders. A boat floats on a river, serving as an unconventional mode of transportation for these adventurous souls. They are bringing supplies across the water while carefully navigating through treacherous ice formations and sandbars. The topography is beautifully drawn, showcasing the majestic mountains that dominate the landscape. As we explore further, we notice Montana cowboys crossing a footbridge and even encounter wildlife such as pelicans, buffalo, porcupines, and grizzly bears. The artist Durand Godefroy skillfully captures both the harshness and beauty of this untamed wilderness. The print provides us with insight into how these brave individuals overcame challenges like bridging rivers or traversing muddy terrains using red river carts or horses. Overall, this artwork serves as a testament to human determination in conquering nature's obstacles during one of North America's most significant infrastructure projects - building the Canadian Pacific Railway.
