EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Interior of Fort Garry c.1850: Winnipeg, Manitoba" by H.A. Strong, offers a glimpse into the past of Canada's rich history. Taken in 1941, the image showcases the Hudson's Bay Company trading post at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The fort, known as Upper Fort Garry, was a significant colonial outpost during the 19th century. The photograph reveals a bustling scene of activity, with various buildings and structures housing goods and supplies. The Hudson's Bay Company flag, proudly displayed atop one of the buildings, signifies the British influence in the region. The presence of huskies and sledges suggests the importance of road transport during the harsh winter months. The scene is populated with men, some of whom are likely employees of the trading post, while others may be local inhabitants or travelers. The dogs, eagerly awaiting their masters, add a lively touch to the image. The snow-covered landscape and weathered buildings evoke a sense of the harsh yet beautiful Canadian winter. Lady Susan Buchan, the author of "Canada," a volume in the "British Commonwealth in Pictures" series, published by Collins, London, in 1941, likely used this photograph as a visual accompaniment to her text. The image provides a fascinating insight into the industrial and trading activities that shaped Canada's early history, offering a glimpse into the country's past that continues to captivate and intrigue.
