EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pierre-Esprit Raddison, a renowned French explorer and fur trader from the 17th century. The image, originally published in Colliers Weekly in 1906, is a vibrant color lithograph created by Frederic Remington. Raddison's adventurous spirit and thirst for discovery are palpable as he navigates through a serene river landscape. With his trusty canoe gliding gracefully through the water, he immerses himself in the uncharted territories of North America. This particular expedition took place in 1659 when Raddison and his companion Medard Chouart des Groseilliers ventured west of Lake Superior to Lake Winnipeg. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of exploration with its depiction of lush reeds, delicate lilypads, and native American influences. It serves as a testament to Raddison's significant contributions to early European exploration on this continent. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection, we are transported back in time to witness an era where brave individuals like Raddison fearlessly embarked on perilous journeys into unknown lands. Their encounters with indigenous peoples and their relentless pursuit of new trade routes paved the way for future explorations that would shape history. This print not only celebrates Raddison's legacy but also reminds us of humanity's innate desire to push boundaries and uncover hidden treasures within our world.
