EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Sunday in the Backwoods of Canada, 1886" takes us on a journey back in time to the serene countryside of 19th-century Canada. Created by F Lefrancq after Thomas Faed's original artwork, this illustration beautifully captures a moment of domestic life in rural Britain's colonial outpost. In this scene, we see a group of people gathered outside their humble cottage on a peaceful Sunday afternoon. The composition is filled with diverse characters - women, men, children - each conveying their own emotions and stories. A sense of unhappiness seems to linger in the air as some individuals appear lost in thought or wear expressions tinged with melancholy. The artist skillfully portrays the essence of British culture transplanted onto Canadian soil through meticulous attention to detail. From the traditional clothing worn by both men and women to the rustic surroundings that hint at a simple way of life, every element contributes to an authentic representation of this era. Through its monochromatic palette and exquisite engraving technique employed by Thomas Archer for Illustration of English and Scottish History Volume I published by Blackie & Son Ltd. , this print exudes historical charm. It serves as a window into not only Canadian history but also offers insight into how British traditions were maintained amidst unfamiliar landscapes. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, we are transported back to an era where Sundays held special significance within close-knit communities nestled deep within Canada's untamed wilderness
