EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a momentous journey through an exquisite engraving by Sydney Prior Hall. The print showcases the grandeur and adventure that awaited those embarking on a voyage to the uncharted territories of Canada's North-West. In this scene, we witness the departure from Ireland as the ship bids farewell to its homeland. As it passes into the distance, silver islets glisten under a breathtaking sunset, symbolizing both beauty and uncertainty in this new frontier. The stern of the vessel reveals travelers eagerly anticipating their expedition. Some engage in sketching, capturing memories of their remarkable journey ahead. Others stand at attention, bows pointing westward towards their destination - Georgian Bay and beyond. Amongst these intrepid explorers is none other than Frances Smith, accompanied by her husband, Marquis of Lorne - Governor General of Canada at that time. Prince Arthur also joins them on this historic quest for discovery. As they sail past Thunder Cape and Killarney, their excitement grows palpable. Toronto's skyline emerges on the horizon while Wilsons Channel guides them towards Collingwood. This extraordinary artwork encapsulates not only a physical passage but also represents an era defined by exploration and ambition. It invites us to imagine ourselves aboard that ship; feeling both trepidation and anticipation as we venture into uncharted lands – embracing our own great north-western adventure alongside these courageous pioneers.
