EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the early exploration and colonial history of Arctic Canada. The hand-colored woodcut reproduction showcases an intricate map titled "Early Map of Hudsons Strait and Hudsons Bay, 1662". The map itself is a testament to the artistry and precision of cartography during that era. It depicts the vast expanse of Hudson's Bay, with its intricate network of straits and islands. Baffin Island stands prominently in the north, while Quebec lies further south along the St. Lawrence River. As we delve into this historical artifact, we are reminded of intrepid explorers like Henry Hudson who ventured into these uncharted waters in search of new trade routes to Asia. This map was crucial for their navigation through treacherous passages such as Davis Strait and Hudson Strait. The French influence on Canadian history becomes evident as we observe references to New France and French Canada within this artwork. The quest for discovering a Northwest Passage also looms large in this depiction. With its rich colors and meticulous details, this print serves as a visual time machine transporting us back to an age when maritime exploration shaped North America's destiny. It invites us to appreciate both the artistic beauty inherent in cartography as well as the bravery exhibited by those who dared venture into unknown territories centuries ago.
