EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Scenes on the Skeena River, British Columbia" takes us back to a bygone era in Canada's history. Created by Marie, Adrien Emmanuel in 1889, it offers a glimpse into life along the majestic Skeena River. The print showcases a bustling scene at the mouth of the river, where a salmon cannery stands tall against the backdrop of towering mountains. Fishermen are seen hauling in their bountiful catch while others prepare for an approaching parade. The image captures both the natural beauty of this region and its industrious spirit. Intriguingly, amidst all this activity, we spot a group gathered around what appears to be a large fish – perhaps an impressive catch or even part of someone's meal. This detail adds an element of curiosity to the scene. As we explore further into this engraving, our eyes are drawn to various elements that depict life in British Columbia during that time period. We see doctors' medicine chests suggesting medical care was available even in remote areas like Port Essington. Canadian wildlife is also present; animals roam freely as if undisturbed by human presence. Overall, this print transports us back to late 19th-century Canada and invites us to imagine what life was like for those living along the Skeena River – capturing moments both ordinary and extraordinary with remarkable attention to detail.
