EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Ranching in the Canadian North-West" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rugged and adventurous life of ranchers in Canada. The print showcases an MPs holiday, as illustrated for The Graphic on July 24,1886. In this picturesque scene, we find ourselves amidst the enchanting beauty of nature's untouched wilderness. A group of cowboys is seen diligently at work under the night sky, their figures illuminated by a warm glow emanating from their campfire. They are situated near Willow Creek, surrounded by rolling hills that stretch towards the majestic Rockies. As members of parliament take respite from political affairs, they immerse themselves in this unique experience – cutting through challenges with determination and readiness. Their dwellings dotting the landscape serve as reminders that even those who govern need solace within nature's embrace. Amidst steers and horses grazing peacefully along Belly River tea time commences; these politicians find refuge in camaraderie and conversation over a cuppa. With autumn setting in and snow-capped peaks looming nearby, it becomes evident why this region holds such allure for both lords and common Canadians alike. This engraving encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when ranching was deeply intertwined with identity and survival. It serves as a testament to those brave souls who tamed these wild lands while shaping Canada's rich history within its western hemisphere - forever etching their mark upon North
