To the New West with the Governor-General of Canada over the Canadian Pacific Railway
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Joseph Nash, depicting an extraordinary moment in Canadian history. The artwork showcases Lord Stanley, the Governor-General of Canada at that time, embarking on a journey through the vast landscapes of North America. The image transports us back to November 1889 when this illustration was featured in The Graphic. Lord Stanley and his friends are seen standing on a train's cow catcher, attentively watching as they traverse the newly constructed Canadian Pacific Railway. This railway played a pivotal role in connecting eastern and western Canada during its construction in the late 19th century. Nash's artistic skills shine through as he captures not only the grandeur of nature but also highlights elements unique to this era. In particular, he depicts a prairie fire raging nearby, adding drama and intensity to the scene. This print serves as both historical documentation and an exquisite work of art. It allows viewers to witness an important moment in Canadian history while appreciating Nash's attention to detail and mastery of his craft. As we gaze upon this engraving today, we can't help but feel awe-inspired by Lord Stanley's adventurous spirit and marvel at how far transportation has come since then.
