EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Canadian history - the interception of Laura Secord by Mohawk scouts. Created around 1920, this colour lithograph by Henry Sandham showcases the bravery and determination of one woman amidst an impending invasion. Set against a backdrop of dense forest, Laura Secord stands tall and resolute, embodying the spirit of courage that defined early Canadians. The Mohawk scouts, with their keen senses and deep connection to the land, play a crucial role in protecting their homeland from American forces during this tumultuous time. The image evokes a sense of urgency and tension as Secord receives vital information about an imminent attack. Her unwavering determination shines through her eyes as she prepares to embark on her treacherous journey to warn her fellow countrymen. This artwork is part of the "Romance of Canada" series published in 1910, which aimed to celebrate significant moments in Canadian history. It serves as a reminder not only of Laura Secord's heroic actions but also pays homage to all Canadians who have fought for their land throughout history. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, we are reminded that bravery knows no boundaries or gender. It is a testament to the indomitable spirit that shaped North America's past and continues to inspire future generations.
