EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View of Ottawa, with Log-Rafts, 1924" takes us back to a significant era in Canadian history. The image showcases the bustling timber industry that once thrived along the riverbanks of Ottawa in the early 20th century. As we gaze upon this monochrome landscape, we are transported to a time when British influence was still palpable in Canada. The photograph captures an impressive sight: log-rafts floating gracefully on the river's surface against a backdrop of industrial buildings and timber yards. These rafts were essential for transporting logs from remote forests to lumber mills, fueling Canada's booming economy at the time. The sheer scale of this operation is awe-inspiring; it speaks volumes about both the natural resources available and Britain's dominance as a global power. Taken from H. Clive Barnard's publication "The British Empire in Pictures" this print offers us a glimpse into an important geographical feature that shaped Ottawa's history. It serves as a reminder of how human activity can leave lasting imprints on our landscapes. As we admire this historical snapshot, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its significance in understanding Canada's past. This image reminds us of our shared heritage and invites reflection on how far we have come since those industrious days by the riverside.
