EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 19th century takes us back in time to British Columbia and Vancouver Island. The engraving, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the street scenes of this Canadian region. In the foreground, an Indian woman gracefully walks along the bustling streets with a child by her side. Their presence adds a touch of cultural diversity to this vibrant cityscape. The image showcases Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia on Vancouver Island. It is fascinating to see how this area has evolved over time, as it was still relatively new when this engraving was made in 1863. Native Americans can be seen in traditional attire, their conical form headdresses standing out amidst the crowd. The significance of this historical moment lies not only in its depiction of daily life but also in its representation of North America during that era. The children playing nearby symbolize innocence and hope for future generations. As we observe this scene through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of the rich heritage and diverse cultures that have shaped Canada's western hemisphere throughout history. This print serves as a testament to our shared past and invites us to reflect on how far we have come since those early days in British Columbia and Vancouver Island.
