EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph by Harold Copping depicts a scene from the early 20th century in Canada. The image showcases a settler, surrounded by vast fields of golden wheat, preparing to drive his wagon-loads of grain to the nearest elevator. These unassuming yet essential structures served as prominent landmarks across settled districts in the prairie provinces. The artwork is an illustration for Arthur E Copping's book, "The Golden Land" which chronicles the true stories and experiences of British settlers in Canada. Published around 1910, this image offers a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs faced by these brave emigrants. In this snapshot of history, we witness not only the determination and resilience of settlers but also their reliance on agriculture as they built new lives in unfamiliar lands. The artist captures both the practicality and beauty found within this everyday task - driving wagon-loads of wheat to be processed at elevators. Copping's work transports us back to a time when European immigrants sought opportunities in North America, leaving behind their homelands for a chance at prosperity. This particular print serves as a testament to Canadian settlement while highlighting the importance of agriculture and its impact on shaping communities. Through this vivid lithograph, viewers can appreciate not only Copping's artistic talent but also gain insight into an era defined by exploration, migration, and hard work.
