EDITORS COMMENTS
A Hunt for a Christmas Dinner in Manitoba" captures the essence of adventure and camaraderie amidst the harsh winter landscape of Canada. In this engraving by Sydney Prior Hall, we witness a group of determined hunters led by an old Frenchman, braving freezing temperatures and treacherous terrain in search of their festive feast. As dusk settles over the snow-covered floor, bloodied tracks mark their progress through the heavy bush. An annoyed but resolute old fellow trudges on with no trouble, his frozen breath visible in the peaceful twilight. The hard tramp all day has taken its toll, yet they press forward. A couple of snap shots reveal moments frozen in time - a friendly Indian hunter offering assistance to his city friend carrying a bag of wheat as bait; an infurated elk wounded but still elusive; and finally, the capital shake down as they corner their prey. The injured are not forgotten; medical supplies are at hand to tend to wounds sustained during this arduous pursuit. Asklepios himself seems present in this remote corner of North America where healthcare is scarce. Yet these resourceful Canadians rely on each other's expertise to ensure everyone's physical health is cared for. In this scene from 1887 captured by Hall's skilled hand, we glimpse into a world where nature provides both challenge and sustenance. A testament to resilience and determination against all odds - truly embodying the spirit of Christmas dinner hunted with pride and shared amongst friends.
