EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "BUSN2A-00167" takes us back in time to the riverside camp of voyageurs, or French fur traders. The hand-colored woodcut, based on a 19th-century illustration, beautifully captures the essence of this historic era. In the image, we witness a lively meeting between these adventurous hunters and explorers. Set against the backdrop of a vintage Canadian forest, their camp is bustling with activity. Some are engaged in cooking over an open fire while others engage in recreation and conversation. The pioneers' waterway journey has brought them to this picturesque frontier location in Quebec. As they gather around the campfire, sharing meals and stories, one can't help but feel immersed in their rich social life. The scene showcases various elements that define this period: canoes resting by the riverbank, trappers preparing for their next expedition into the woodsman's territory, and even a teepee standing tall nearby. As we delve deeper into history through this artwork from North Wind Picture Archives, it becomes evident how integral outdoor cooking was to their daily lives during these times of exploration and trade. This remarkable piece transports us to an era when French Canada played a significant role in shaping North America's cultural landscape through its vibrant fur trade industry. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and offers insight into a world long gone but not forgotten.
