EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the Red River Expedition of 1870. In this scene, Sir Garnet Wolseley, a prominent British military leader, is depicted holding a Council of War at his Head Quarters in Thunder Bay. The image showcases the encamped troops and their preparations for the expedition. The composition exudes an air of determination and strategic planning as Sir Garnet Wolseley consults with his officers. Their serious expressions convey the gravity of the situation they face in Canada's Red River region. The presence of Lake Superior adds to the picturesque backdrop, highlighting both the beauty and challenges that nature presents during wartime. The Red River Expedition was a pivotal event in Canadian history, aimed at suppressing Louis Riel's Métis rebellion and asserting British authority over Western Canada. This engraving serves as a visual testament to this important chapter in North American history. Created by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, this print offers viewers a glimpse into a critical moment where decisions were made that would shape future events. Preserved within private collections today, it continues to serve as a reminder of bravery and leadership exhibited by Sir Garnet Wolseley and his troops during this historic campaign.
