EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1800s, capturing a pivotal moment in Canadian history. Trappers, with their loyal dogs by their side, are seen hauling precious furs on a dirt road towards a bustling trading post. The scene is reminiscent of an era when trade and commerce were the lifeblood of this vast land. The hand-colored woodcut, based on an illustration by renowned artist Frederic Remington, beautifully depicts the ruggedness and resilience of these frontiersmen. With determination etched on their faces, they navigate through challenging terrains astride majestic horses or pulling heavy carts filled with valuable cargo. As we gaze at this vintage artwork, it becomes evident that this image represents more than just business transactions; it symbolizes heritage and tradition deeply rooted in Native American culture. These trappers embody the spirit of adventure and survival as they traverse trails once frequented by indigenous peoples. The significance of this historic moment cannot be overstated. It showcases the vital role played by traders from various backgrounds - French Canadians, British settlers, voyageurs - who contributed to shaping Canada's identity during its formative years. Let us cherish this snapshot from our past as a reminder of our shared history and acknowledge those who paved the way for future generations.
