EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Canadian Fisheries Question, an American Poacher evading a Cruiser by running between Icebergs" takes us back to the 19th century when tensions ran high in the North American fishing industry. The image showcases the daring escape of an American poacher as he skillfully maneuvers his vessel through treacherous icebergs, desperately trying to evade capture by a Canadian cruiser. The scene is filled with suspense and danger, highlighting the intense rivalry between these two nations over fishing rights. The artist from the English School masterfully captures the vastness of Canada's icy waters and the bravery of those involved in this high-stakes game. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic on August 21,1886, providing readers with a visual representation of one aspect of "The Canadian Fisheries Question". It serves as a reminder of how vital fishing was to both countries' economies during that time. Today, this artwork stands as a historical testament to an era when disputes over natural resources shaped international relations. It invites us to reflect on our past and appreciate how far we have come in resolving such conflicts peacefully.
