The Quater-Centenary of Newfoundland - A Glimpse into Maritime History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of a significant moment in Newfoundland's history - its quater-centenary celebration. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, takes us back to June 5,1897, when this illustration was featured in The Illustrated London News. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with various elements that define Newfoundland's rich heritage. Ships from the Bristol Company dominate the foreground, symbolizing the region's strong connection to maritime trade and exploration. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of fishermen engaged in the prosperous cod fishery that has long been synonymous with Newfoundland. Notable figures like Sebastian Cabot and Captain John Mason are depicted alongside maps and colonial symbols, highlighting their roles as discoverers and colonizers of this vast land. The presence of cable communications signifies how advancements in technology have connected Newfoundland to distant lands. As we delve deeper into this intricate artwork, it becomes evident that it not only celebrates Newfoundland but also pays homage to Canada as a whole. With references to Canadian weaponry and armaments, including defensive weapons used by infantry forces, this engraving emphasizes North America's significance within the Western Hemisphere. Through Bridgeman Images' meticulous preservation efforts, viewers can now appreciate this historical masterpiece for its artistic brilliance while gaining insight into one chapter of North American history - where seafaring explorers paved the way for future generations on these shores
