EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a scene from 19th century Canada, depicting an Indigenous person setting a beaver trap in the wilderness. The intricate details of the print showcase the traditional methods used by Indigenous peoples to hunt and gather resources in harmony with nature.
The image is rich in historical significance, shedding light on the important role that beavers played in shaping Canada's early economy and culture. Beavers were highly valued for their fur, which was sought after for its warmth and durability. The trapping of beavers was a vital source of income for many Indigenous communities, as well as European settlers who ventured into the Canadian wilderness.
The artist has skillfully captured the essence of this moment, showcasing the deep connection between humans and nature in this rugged landscape. The vibrant colors bring to life the lush forests and flowing rivers that served as the backdrop for these hunting expeditions.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era when survival depended on resourcefulness and ingenuity. It serves as a reminder of our shared history with Indigenous peoples and their enduring relationship with the land.
