EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir George Simpson, a prominent figure in the Hudson's Bay Company and the British government, played a pivotal role in the early administration of British Columbia, Canada in 1835. In this historic photograph, Sir George Simpson is depicted seated at a table, surrounded by a group of men, likely members of the newly established council. The council was formed to oversee the governance of the province following the signing of the Oregon Treaty, which established the 49th parallel as the boundary between British and American territories. Sir George Simpson, dressed in formal attire, exudes a sense of authority and determination as he presides over the council meeting. The men around the table, dressed in various European styles, represent the diverse backgrounds of those involved in the administration of the new province. The room is filled with documents and maps, indicating the importance of record-keeping and planning in the early days of British Columbia's governance. This photograph offers a glimpse into the early history of British Columbia and the role that Sir George Simpson played in shaping its future. His establishment of the council marked a significant step towards the formal administration of the province and paved the way for the development of infrastructure, trade, and settlement in the region. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the complex political landscape of the time, with various European powers vying for influence and control in the New World.
