The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases various aspects of Canadian life during that time. In this detailed image, we can see a vibrant scene unfolding before our eyes. A red river ox cart and an ox train dominate the foreground, symbolizing the importance of transportation in this developing nation. Behind them stands a field gun, reminding us of Canada's military presence and its role in shaping the country's history. The composition also includes intriguing elements such as notes scattered around the scene and a mail train passing through. These details hint at the communication networks that were crucial for connecting different regions within Canada. Further along in the image lies Lake Winnipeg and Fort Garry - landmarks that played significant roles in both trade and defense during this era. Labourers living in cars near Selkirk demonstrate how people adapted to their surroundings while contributing to Canada's growth.
