EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, titled "Driving A Cow Before Her, Laura Secord Passed The American Sentries" we are transported back to the early 19th century during the War of 1812. Canadian heroine Laura Secord takes center stage as she fearlessly maneuvers through the countryside, cow in tow, while passing by American sentries. Painted by Joseph Ratcliffe Skelton around 1909 and later printed in the 1920s for Thomas Nelson And Sons' publication "Our Empire Story" by H. E. Marshall, this image beautifully captures a pivotal moment in history. Laura Secord's remarkable story unfolds before our eyes as we learn that she walked an astonishing 20 miles out of American occupied territory to warn British forces about an impending attack. This act of courage and determination makes her a symbol of resilience and bravery during times of conflict. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element present - from the lush greenery surrounding them to the intricate clothing worn by both Laura Secord and the American sentries. The peaceful presence of a grazing cow adds a touch of serenity amidst the tension-filled atmosphere. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder not only of Laura Secord's extraordinary feat but also highlights her role as an unsung hero who played a significant part in shaping Canada's history. It stands as testament to her unwavering dedication and selflessness, making her an inspiration for generations to come.
