EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a remarkable engraving titled "The course or diligence on the horse of the prairies". Created by A. Dupuis, this drawing was intended to illustrate an exciting tale of an expedition to Canada and the northern red river in 1873, penned by H. de Lamotte. As we delve into this image, we are transported to a time when public transport relied on majestic horses as their means of travel. The scene captures a moment of bustling activity as people board a horse-drawn carriage known as a diligence. This mode of transportation was essential for traversing the vast Canadian landscape during that era. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, beautifully capturing both human figures and animals alike. The coupling between man and horse is palpable; it symbolizes not only their reliance on one another but also their shared journey through uncharted territories. This engraving holds historical significance as it provides insight into life during that period in North America. It serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of early Canadians who braved long journeys across rugged terrain. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork from French School remains timeless, reminding us of our ancestors' spirit of adventure and exploration. Leonard de Selva has expertly captured its essence through his lens, allowing us to appreciate this piece from Fine Art Finder with awe-inspiring admiration for both artistry and history itself.
