EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print depicts Bartlemy's house, located in Esquimalt Harbor, British Columbia, between 1858 and 1861. The exterior view showcases the weathered white and black way in, with two individuals standing near the entrance. The house, surrounded by lush greenery, is nestled among conifer trees and picket fences, offering a glimpse into the past of this historic Canadian location. During this period, Esquimalt Harbor was a significant site for the British Empire, serving as a base for the British North American Boundary Commission, which was responsible for resolving the dispute between the United States and Britain over the Oregon boundary. The meeting of frontiers is reflected in the image, with the house representing the British presence and the natural beauty of the harbor and its surroundings. The image, which is part of the collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the pioneer spirit of the era, with the house standing strong against the elements and the people outside, likely engaged in daily activities. The doorway, with its simple yet elegant design, invites us to imagine the stories that unfolded within the walls of Bartlemy's house. This still image, captured in the 19th century, offers a unique perspective on a bygone era and the rich heritage of Canada.
