EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1920s showcases the Countess of Dufferin, Canada's first steam locomotive to operate in the prairie provinces. Produced as a collectible cigarette card by the Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd, it offers a glimpse into Canadian transportation history. The image captures the majestic engine with its cowcatcher leading the way through a picturesque landscape. The Canadian Pacific Railway logo proudly adorns its side, symbolizing progress and connectivity during this era. The Countess of Dufferin stands tall against the backdrop of rolling hills and open countryside, representing both industrial advancement and harmonious coexistence with nature. As we admire this vintage print, we are transported back to a time when steam trains were at their peak popularity. This photograph serves as a reminder of how railways played an integral role in shaping Canada's growth and development throughout the 20th century. Preserved by The Print Collector, this historical gem allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance within Canadian heritage. It is a testament to our fascination with transport technology and serves as a tangible link between past generations' aspirations for progress and our present-day appreciation for their achievements.
