EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut transports us back to the 1850s in Quebec, Canada. The frozen St. Lawrence River becomes a bustling scene of ice-cutting and harvesting, showcasing the traditional methods employed during this era. In this vintage illustration, we witness the industriousness of the city's inhabitants as they harness horses to pull large saws across the thick ice. This laborious task was crucial for supplying Montreal and other towns with much-needed ice throughout the winter months. The historic significance of this image lies not only in its depiction of a bygone era but also in its representation of Canadian heritage. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors adapted to their environment and utilized natural resources like frozen rivers for survival. As we delve into history through art, we are reminded of the harsh winters that shaped life in French Canada during the 19th century. The freezing temperatures and icy landscapes were both beautiful and challenging, requiring immense strength and resilience from those who called this region home. Let us appreciate this glimpse into Quebec's past as it showcases an integral part of North America's history - one where communities relied on nature's gifts to sustain themselves before modern refrigeration techniques transformed our world forever.
