Portage des Chats
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating tinted steel engraving by the renowned British artist W.H. Bartlett, created in the year 1840. This masterpiece transports us back in time to the wild and untamed landscape of Canada, where the carrying of canoes and equipment over portages around waterfalls was a necessary part of pioneer life. The image showcases a group of intrepid trappers and their companions, skillfully raising and lifting their canoes and supplies over a series of cascading waterfalls. The tranquil water below the falls contrasts sharply with the dynamic scene of human effort and determination unfolding on the land. The dense forest in the background adds to the sense of wilderness and isolation, while the intricate details of the canoes and the trappers' clothing and equipment attest to the meticulous craftsmanship of Bartlett's artistry. The portage depicted in this engraving was a common occurrence in the fur trade era, when traders and explorers relied on waterways to traverse the vast expanses of the Canadian wilderness. The challenges of navigating around waterfalls and transporting their goods overland were a test of their strength, endurance, and resourcefulness. Bartlett's "Portage des Chats" is a stunning testament to the history and spirit of early Canadian exploration, offering a glimpse into a time when the natural beauty of the wilderness and the indomitable human spirit were intertwined in the pursuit of survival and discovery. This exquisite tinted steel engraving continues to captivate and inspire us with its intricate details, historical significance, and timeless allure.
