EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1891, we are transported back to the intense competition of the Canadian fur trade in the 19th century. The print, based on an original work by Frederic Remington, depicts a thrilling race between rival traders as they desperately row their canoes towards an Indian camp. The scene is filled with energy and anticipation as these men navigate through the rugged Canadian wilderness, determined to secure valuable furs for their respective companies. With every stroke of their paddles, they push themselves closer to victory or defeat. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this historic era, showcasing both French and Canadian voyageurs alongside American Indians who played a crucial role in this maritime industry. Their lives were intertwined in this high-stakes game of commerce and survival. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we can almost feel the adrenaline coursing through our veins. It serves as a powerful reminder of Canada's rich history and its reliance on transportation via canoe during that time period. This print by The Granger Collection allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in Canada's past - one marked by fierce competition and adventure along its vast waterways.
