EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Owls Head Landing, 1874" takes us back to a bygone era in Canada's history. The image captures the enchanting scene of a steamship arriving at a jetty on Lake Memphremagog in Quebec. The Owls Head mountain stands tall and majestic, surpassing all others around the lake with its imposing form and size. The photograph is part of the renowned book "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant and published by D. Appleton and Company in New York in 1874. This volume showcases the beauty of American landscapes through illustrations on steel and wood created by eminent artists of that time. In this particular image, we see passengers disembarking from the paddle steamer onto the quayside, their luggage piled up nearby. People are bustling about as they go about their daily activities against the backdrop of nature's splendor. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility mixed with anticipation as travelers arrive at this picturesque location surrounded by mountains and water. It offers us a glimpse into an era when steamships were vital for transportation across vast bodies of water like Lake Memphremagog. Through this remarkable photo print, photographers John Douglas Woodward and Frederick William Quartley have immortalized not only a specific moment but also captured the essence of Canadian geography, literature, artistry, and cultural heritage during that period.
