EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled "Testing the First Rifled Cannon made in the Colonies at St Helens Island, Canada" captures a significant moment in history. Created by Alfred Chantrey Corbould, this print showcases an important milestone in military technology during the late 19th century. In this image, we witness a group of Canadian soldiers gathered around the first-ever rifled cannon manufactured within the colonies. The scene takes place on St Helens Island, located off the coast of Canada. The anticipation and excitement are palpable as these brave men prepare to test this groundbreaking weapon. This historic event symbolizes Canada's growing independence and technological progress. As one of its earliest achievements in artillery production, it marks a turning point for Canadian military capabilities. With cannons being vital weapons during that era, this achievement solidifies Canada's position as a force to be reckoned with. The illustration was originally published in The Graphic on November 15th, 1879 – a testament to its significance even at that time. Today, it serves as a reminder of Canada's rich military heritage and its contributions to advancements in weaponry. This engraving from Bridgeman Images allows us to glimpse into an important chapter of North American history when Canadians took their first steps towards self-sufficiency and innovation within their own borders.
