EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Alexander Mackenzie, a renowned explorer and trader from the late 18th century. The image, originally published in Colliers Weekly in 1906, was beautifully rendered through a colour lithograph by Frederic Remington. Sir Alexander Mackenzie's legacy as an adventurer is highlighted in this portrait. Born in 1764, he made history by being the first person to successfully cross the Rocky Mountains in 1792. Undeterred by challenges and driven by curiosity, Mackenzie continued his expedition to reach the Pacific Ocean via the Fraser River. The photograph captures Mackenzie's determination and courage as he navigates through treacherous waters on a canoe with his fellow explorers. The stunning backdrop of a canyon adds depth to this visual narrative of exploration and discovery. Mackenzie's journey not only marked significant geographical achievements but also shed light on Native American cultures that inhabited North America during that time. As an explorer and trader for the Northwest Company, he interacted with indigenous communities along his route. This print serves as a tribute to Sir Alexander Mackenzie's remarkable contributions to our understanding of North America's vast landscapes and diverse peoples. It stands as a testament to human ambition and curiosity while reminding us of the importance of preserving our natural heritage for future generations.
