EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Motor car, Canadian Government Colonization Co. between 1900 and 1905," captures an intriguing moment in the early history of automobile transportation in North America. Taken by renowned photographer William H. Jackson, the image showcases a motor car belonging to the Canadian Government Colonization Co., which operated between 1900 and 1905. The company played a significant role in settling and developing the Canadian prairies, and this motor car likely served as a means of transportation for settlers and supplies. The image, which measures 8 x 10 inches and was captured on a dry plate negative, depicts a man standing next to the car, likely the driver. The car's signage is clearly visible, with the company's name and "Detroit Publishing Co." prominently displayed. The motor car, an old-fashioned model with a distinctive design, is shown parked on a street or road, with a streetcar or tram visible in the background. The photograph is filled with historical detail, from the lettering on the car to the clothing of the man and the overall atmosphere of the scene. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the early days of automobile transportation and the role it played in the colonization of Canada. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the settlers who made the journey westward, and the companies that helped facilitate their movement. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact, and a reminder of the rich heritage and history of transportation in North America.
