EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the western suburbs of Victoria on Vancouver Island, Canada. The illustration is taken from "The Life and Times of Queen Victoria Vol II" by Robert Wilson, published around 1888. In this mesmerizing scene, we find ourselves standing on the coast overlooking a picturesque harbour. The tranquil waters reflect the surrounding landscape as ships gracefully navigate through them. This bustling port serves as a vital hub for water transport, connecting this remote location to other parts of British Columbia and beyond. The enchanting beauty of nature merges seamlessly with human civilization in this image. The suburb itself lies peacefully amidst rolling hills and lush greenery, creating an idyllic countryside setting. It's easy to imagine residents enjoying the serenity that comes with living in such a breathtaking environment. The monochrome engraving adds an air of nostalgia to the scene, emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed since then while appreciating how some elements have remained constant over the years. This print is not just a visual delight; it also serves as a valuable piece of geography and history. It reminds us of our connection to both land and sea while showcasing the enduring charm of Vancouver Island's western suburbs during Queen Victoria's reign.
