EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Timber-Booms on the St John River, New Brunswick" takes us back to 19th century Canada, where the timber industry was thriving. The image showcases a bustling scene along the picturesque St John River, with timber booms floating gracefully on its calm waters. The artist from the English School masterfully captures the essence of this booming industry. Towering trees are being felled and transported downriver, highlighting the immense scale of logging operations in New Brunswick during that time. The sheer magnitude of logs stacked together creates an impressive sight against the backdrop of lush green forests. This illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on April 7th, 1866. It offers a glimpse into a pivotal period when Canada's natural resources played a significant role in shaping its economy and development. The print serves as a reminder of our historical connection to nature and how industries like logging have shaped our landscapes. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate engravings. This artwork not only documents an important era for Canadian industry but also invites us to reflect upon our relationship with nature and how it has evolved over time.
