EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1879, we are transported back in time to witness the journey of a remarkable family. Half-Canadian and half-Native American, these fur traders embark on their way to a trading post owned by the prestigious Hudson's Bay Company. The image showcases the diverse group as they traverse through the untamed frontier. A sturdy wagon pulled by oxen serves as their mode of transportation, symbolizing both their resilience and adaptability. The men lead the way with determination etched upon their faces, embodying strength and courage in equal measure. Amidst them stands an English child, a testament to the blending of cultures that occurred during this era of exploration and trade. The women play an integral role too; strong-willed and resourceful, they contribute greatly to the success of this family enterprise. This wood engraving captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an important chapter in history - one where commerce thrived amidst vast landscapes and cultural exchange flourished between indigenous peoples and European settlers. As we gaze at this print from Granger Art on Demand, we cannot help but be captivated by its rich details that transport us into a world long gone. It reminds us of our shared heritage shaped by migration, cooperation, and mutual respect across different communities.
