EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1870, capturing a significant historical moment in Canada's past. The image showcases Fort Garry, also known as Upper Fort Garry, which was built by the Hudson Bay Company at Red River Settlement, now known as Winnipeg. The wood engraving beautifully depicts the fort surrounded by a sturdy fence, standing tall against the winter landscape. The snow-covered ground and barren trees paint a picture of an unforgiving Canadian winter. It is evident that this settlement was established in harsh conditions. Fort Garry served as a vital trading post for fur traders during this time period. Its strategic location along the Red River made it an essential hub for commerce and communication between Indigenous peoples and European settlers. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the resilience and determination of those who braved these challenging circumstances to build a future for themselves in this vast land. This print serves as a testament to Canada's rich history and its connection to both Indigenous cultures and European colonization. With every detail meticulously engraved on wood by skilled hands, this artwork from The Granger Collection allows us to peer into our nation's past with awe-inspiring clarity.
