EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title-page of "Encouragements" a historic tract promoting settlement in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. Printed in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1625 by Sir Robert Gordon, Baron Lochinvar, this piece offers a fascinating glimpse into early colonialism and the British Empire's expansion efforts. The image features an intricate woodcut depicting various elements that symbolize the aspirations and challenges of colonization. At its center is a coat of arms proudly displaying the Canadian identity intertwined with Scottish heritage. A boar's head rests atop a helmet adorned with dreadlocks, representing strength and resilience. The typeface used for the title-page exudes an air of authority and importance. The words "Encouragements" stand out prominently, emphasizing the purpose of this tract: to inspire individuals to embark on new beginnings in Nova Scotia. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are reminded of God's role in these endeavors as His presence is acknowledged through a motto inscribed within the artwork. This powerful combination of religious devotion and nationalistic fervor underscores the motivations behind colonial settlements during this era. With its rich symbolism and historical significance, this print transports us back to a time when dreams were realized through exploration and determination. It serves as both an educational tool for understanding our past and an artistic representation celebrating Canada's colonial legacy.
