EDITORS COMMENTS
Our First Deal in Horseflesh in Manitoba" captures a humorous and entertaining scene from 19th century Canada. In this engraving, we witness an untamed horse causing chaos as it attempts to be harnessed for a ride. The setting is a picturesque lawn where a group of settlers, including a lady and two men named Joe and Tim, gather to witness the spectacle. The colonial society eagerly watches as the lady tries to maintain her composure while sitting in a buckboard gig. With ribbons flying and chaffed neighbours keeping their distance, the experience turns into an unexpected catastrophe. The horse's wild nature becomes apparent as it resists being drawn into its new role of transport. This print offers insight into the challenges faced by early Canadian settlers when dealing with unfamiliar animals like horses. It also highlights the lighter side of life on the frontier, where even mundane tasks such as buying horses can turn into amusing adventures. Through this artwork, we glimpse both the beauty of Manitoba's landscape and the resilience of its people. As Canadians continue to forge their path in North America's western hemisphere, they embrace not only wildlife but also experiences that bring laughter and joy amidst their daily lives on vast grassy lawns.
