EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Across the North American Continent by the Canadian Pacific Railway" takes us back to a momentous race between indigenous Indians in the vast North-West Territory of Canada. Created by Charles Edwin Fripp, this artwork was featured in The Graphic on May 18,1889. The image transports us to a time when horses thundered across the untamed wilderness of the North American continent. With their colorful regalia and determined expressions, Native Americans from different tribes compete fiercely against each other. Their skillful horsemanship is showcased as they push their steeds to their limits. As we gaze upon this historic scene, we are reminded of the immense significance of the Canadian Pacific Railway during that era. This monumental railway project connected East and West Canada, opening up new possibilities for trade and travel across this vast landmass. Beyond its historical context, this engraving captures an important aspect of Native American culture and heritage. It serves as a reminder of their deep connection with nature and their remarkable equestrian skills. Preserved within private collections today, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and its contribution to our understanding of North America's past. Let it serve as a testament to how art can immortalize significant moments in history while honoring diverse cultures that have shaped our world.
