EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches in British Columbia" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the stunning landscapes of this Canadian province. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases the natural beauty and topography of British Columbia with great precision. The image transports us to Harrison Lake, where we are greeted by a breathtaking scene. The Cascade Mountains majestically rise in the background, their peaks touching the sky. The Fraser River gracefully winds its way through the valley, adding life and movement to this picturesque setting. Intriguingly, our eyes are drawn towards Parsonville—a small settlement nestled amidst this awe-inspiring scenery. Its humble buildings stand as a testament to human resilience and determination in conquering nature's challenges. As we explore every detail of this artwork, it becomes evident that these sketches were originally featured in The Illustrated London News on December 17th, 1864. They serve as a visual documentation of British Columbia's allure during that era. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also serves as a historical record of Canada's past. It reminds us how fortunate we are to have such magnificent landscapes within our reach and encourages us to cherish and protect them for future generations.
