EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the winter of 1894 on the St Lawrence River in Canada. In this frozen landscape, a group of determined men can be seen cutting ice using a remarkable steam-powered saw. The immense power of the steam engine is evident as it effortlessly slices through the thick layers of ice, creating large blocks that will later be used for various purposes. In the background, insulated sheds stand tall, ready to store these precious blocks of ice for use during the scorching summer months. These structures serve as a testament to early refrigeration techniques and food preservation methods employed in those times. The image captures not only an essential aspect of daily work but also showcases how people adapted to their environment and utilized available resources. It is fascinating to witness how technology, represented by the steam-powered saw, played a crucial role in shaping industries such as food storage and transportation during this era. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of both the harshness and beauty that winter brings. The monochrome tones add depth and texture to every detail captured within this nineteenth-century wood engraving. This photograph serves as a window into a time when skating on frozen rivers was not just leisurely fun but also intertwined with livelihoods and survival against nature's elements.
