EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Canadian Factor on a tricyl by Nottman circa 1890" captures the essence of a bygone era. Taken by renowned Canadian photographer William Notman, this image showcases an intriguing blend of human ingenuity and transportation history. In the foreground stands a distinguished Canadian factor, his confident gaze fixed upon the camera. Dressed in formal attire, he exudes an air of authority and accomplishment. Positioned next to him is a tricyl - a three-wheeled bicycle popular during that time period. This innovative mode of transport symbolizes progress and modernity in late 19th-century Canada. The composition is expertly framed against the backdrop of Montreal's Bibliotheque Nationale, adding depth to the narrative. The architectural details hint at both European influence and local pride within Canada's cultural landscape. Photographer Leonard de Selva skillfully captures this historic moment with impeccable clarity and contrast. His attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the subject but also the craftsmanship behind early photography techniques. As we reflect on this image from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and societal advancements. It invites us to ponder our own place within history while celebrating those who paved the way for progress in North America's western hemisphere.
