EDITORS COMMENTS
[Caption] This exquisite silver service, presented to Frederic Chase Capreol, Esq. in 1858 by the citizens of Toronto, Canada West, is a testament to his invaluable contributions to the development of the Northern Railroad in the region. The railroad, which connected Lake Huron at Collingwood with Lake Ontario at Toronto, marked the first significant step towards a comprehensive railway communication system in Canada. This system was instrumental in unlocking the potential of the province's agricultural and manufacturing sectors. The elegant epergne, with its scroll and leaf design and triangular base bearing Capreol's arms, rests on a circular silver stand. The service includes four richly-chased table candlesticks, a pair of claret-jugs with antique designs, four bottle-stands, two waiters, a cake-basket, a sugar vase and cover, and a large salver. The salver bears an inscription expressing gratitude for Capreol's public services as the originator and promoter of the Northern Railroad. This magnificent silver service, a production of R. and S. Garrard of Panton-street, London, is a symbol of appreciation from the citizens of Toronto and its vicinity. It is a reminder of the pivotal role Capreol played in shaping the future of transportation and economic growth in Canada West.
