EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sport in British Columbia" by Alfred Chantrey Corbould takes us back to the year 1876, offering a glimpse into the adventurous spirit of Canadians in their pursuit of sport and recreation. The engraving, originally featured in The Graphic magazine, showcases the misplaced confidence and daring nature of individuals engaging in various activities amidst the breathtaking landscapes of British Columbia. In this scene, we witness a group of intrepid hunters on a home trail through the rugged Canadian wilderness. A long shot captures them resting near a mountain signpost, strategizing their next move after an exhilarating shooting experience. As they track down bruin's footprints with close quarters anticipation, one cannot help but admire their determination and love for outdoor pursuits. The image also highlights elements that define Canada's natural beauty - from beavers' houses nestled nearby to majestic mountains serving as an awe-inspiring backdrop. This snapshot encapsulates not only the thrill of hunting but also moments of tranquility as these Canadians take respite amidst nature's splendor. As we delve into this historical artwork, it reminds us that sports have always played an integral part in shaping Canadian identity and fostering connections with North America's vast wilderness. Through this engraved masterpiece preserved by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to a time when adventure awaited at every turn – capturing both the essence of British Columbia and its people who embraced sport as an integral part of their lives.
