EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a Caribou Inn in Canada during the late 19th century. At the stroke of midnight, the atmosphere is filled with merriment and revelry as intoxicated trappers and miners gather together. Their voices echo through the rustic walls as they sing songs that have been passed down from generation to generation. The scene captures a moment of camaraderie and release for these hardworking individuals who have spent their days braving the wilderness in search of fortune. As their voices rise, some find themselves overwhelmed by exhaustion, collapsing onto the ground or seeking solace in blankets spread across wooden benches. The engraving serves as an illustration for Viscount Milton and Doctor Cheadle's epic voyage from the Atlantic to the Pacific along what was known as "route du nord ouest par les terres" between 1862-1864. It offers a glimpse into not only their physical journey but also into the vibrant culture that thrived amidst this rugged landscape. Published under Edouard Charton's direction in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" this image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand how these intrepid explorers found respite within these humble inn walls. Preserved within this private collection, it stands as a testament to both adventure and human connection that transcends time itself. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography brings life to this historical moment, reminding us of our shared humanity and our innate desire for companionship even amidst harsh conditions.
