EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century transports us back to a significant event in history - the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, showcasing the Dominion of Canada. The image captures the essence of colonialism as it depicts an array of Indian utensils alongside Canadian woods, symbolizing the fusion of cultures during this era. The exhibition was held in London and attracted visitors from all over, eager to witness the wonders that Canada had to offer. The engraving showcases various elements that make up this diverse nation: from rocky mountains representing its rugged landscapes to Indian totem poles signifying indigenous heritage. One cannot help but be drawn into this scene, where British Columbia cedar is proudly displayed alongside Canadian cheese, highlighting both natural resources and culinary delights. In the background stands an impressive wooden trophy, a testament to Canada's craftsmanship and resourcefulness. Notably, we catch a glimpse of an Indian chief's house in Skidegate on Queen Charlotte's Island – a reminder of First Nations' presence within this colonial context. This print serves as a visual time capsule capturing not only the spirit of colonial exhibitions but also shedding light on how Canada was perceived by outsiders at that time. It invites us to reflect upon our shared history while appreciating both cultural diversity and interconnectedness between nations across North America and beyond.
