EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Life in Manitoba, 1877" takes us back to a time when the Canadian province was still wild and untamed. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rugged existence of early settlers and indigenous people. In this scene, we witness a dramatic moment as Native American Indians on horseback engage in a bear hunt. With their bows drawn and rifles at the ready, these fearless hunters chase after their prey with determination. The horses kick up dust as they gallop through the open prairie, while one rider skillfully lassos his target. The image captures both the beauty and harshness of life on the frontier. A sense of fear is palpable as men frantically try to escape from a charging wolf. Meanwhile, others are seen setting up camp or traveling by carriage across Red River. This engraving not only highlights the importance of hunting for survival but also showcases how transportation methods were crucial during this era. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and our reliance on animals for sustenance. Preserved by Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this historical artwork provides us with valuable insights into Canada's past – its rich cultural heritage intertwined with British influence.
