EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fur Trappers in Canada, 1880" takes us back to the rugged wilderness of the 19th century. The engraving captures a group of intrepid fur trappers from England as they embark on an expedition up the Missouri River in search of a route to the Pacific Ocean. In this scene, we witness these courageous adventurers embracing their wild surroundings. Sitting around a crackling fire inside their rustic cabin, they engage in various activities that showcase their resourcefulness and survival skills. One trapper skillfully cuts up freshly caught fish while another tends to spit-roasting meat over the open flames. Their beards are thick and weathered, symbolizing their resilience against nature's harsh elements. The image exudes a sense of camaraderie among these men who have left behind civilization for untamed territories. They proudly display animal skins and furs – evidence of their successful hunts – which will later be traded for goods or sold as valuable commodities. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into the lives of those who shaped Canada's history during its early colonial days. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and determination required to explore uncharted lands and establish trade routes amidst challenging conditions. Brought to us by Bridgeman Images from Paris' Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs archives, this print offers us an intriguing window into North America's past while honoring those who paved the way for future generations in both exploration and commerce.
