EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 18th century, showcasing a French Canadian settler wearing traditional snow shoes. From the pages of J. R. Green's renowned book "Short History of the English People" published in London in 1893, this image offers a glimpse into the unique attire and tools used by early colonists. The French Canadian depicted here stands proudly amidst a snowy landscape, his loaded firearm resting on his shoulder. His costume reflects both functionality and style, as he dons snowshoes that enable him to traverse through deep snow with ease. These raquette-style shoes were an essential part of life for settlers during this era. As we examine every detail captured by Ken Welsh's lens, we can't help but admire the resilience and resourcefulness displayed by our ancestors. The harsh winter conditions did not deter them from exploring new territories or engaging in warfare when necessary – as indicated by the presence of an arquebus or hook gun at their side. This print serves as a reminder of our shared history and cultural heritage. It allows us to appreciate the ingenuity and adaptability required for survival during those times. Let it transport you to an era where brave individuals like this French Canadian settler paved the way for future generations, leaving behind footprints that still resonate today.
