EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Victorian illustration that pays homage to the monumental achievements of Queen Victoria's reign. The image is a montage, skillfully combining two iconic landmarks: the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Suez Canal. Constructed during Queen Victoria's rule, these engineering marvels were considered vital connections to Britain's Eastern Possessions within the vast British Empire. The Canadian Pacific Railway, stretching across Canada from coast to coast, symbolizes progress and unity in this visual representation. Its completion was an extraordinary feat that transformed transportation and trade within North America. In contrast, the Suez Canal represents Britain's global reach as it provided a direct route between Europe and Asia through Egypt. This man-made waterway revolutionized maritime trade by significantly reducing travel time for ships navigating between continents. Published in a book commemorating Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, this illustration captures the spirit of imperial ambition and technological advancement prevalent during her reign. It serves as a testament to her legacy as well as Perry & Co. 's dedication to preserving historical moments through their publications. Whitemay has expertly reproduced this remarkable artwork into a high-quality photo print, allowing viewers today to appreciate both the artistic beauty of Victorian illustrations and their historical significance in shaping our modern world.
