EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the year 1891, where we catch a glimpse of a rugged French-Canadian fur trapper known as a "Coureur du Bois". Created by the talented artist Frederic Remington, this print showcases the essence of an independent and adventurous spirit that characterized these men. Standing proudly with his trusty axe in hand, this coureur du bois embodies strength and resilience. His weathered face tells tales of countless expeditions into the untamed wilderness of New France and North America's interior. With his gun slung over his shoulder, he is prepared for any encounter with both man and beast. The intricate details captured in this engraving bring to life the determination etched on our protagonist's face. The dense forest serves as a backdrop, reminding us of the challenging terrain these woodsman traversed daily in their pursuit of furs. Remington's portrayal not only highlights the physicality required for survival but also hints at the entrepreneurial nature that drove these individuals. Coureurs des bois were known for their resourcefulness and ability to navigate vast territories independently. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Peter Newark Pictures' private collection, we are transported back to an era when courage was measured by one's ability to conquer nature itself. This print serves as a timeless tribute to those who dared venture into uncharted lands in search of fortune and adventure.
