EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic moment of Jean Nicolet's landing on the Wisconsin shore of Lake Michigan in 1634, marking his distinction as the first European to reach this region. The hand-colored halftone, derived from a 19th-century illustration, beautifully captures the essence of this significant event. Intriguingly, this image takes us back to a time when North America was still largely unexplored by Europeans. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to an era of discovery and exploration. A lone canoe glides gracefully across the calm waters of Lake Michigan, symbolizing Nicolet's brave journey into unknown territories. The presence of Native Americans adds depth and cultural significance to this scene. We witness a meeting between Nicolet and members of the indigenous Chippewa tribe, who played a vital role in guiding him through their ancestral lands. This encounter represents not only an important historical milestone but also highlights the interconnectedness between different cultures during that period. Through this thought-provoking artwork, we gain insight into early French Canadian history and New France's expansion into North America during the 17th century. It serves as a reminder that our continent's rich tapestry is woven with stories like these – tales of exploration, land claims, and encounters between diverse peoples. As we appreciate this vintage print from North Wind Picture Archives, let us reflect on how Jean Nicolet's courageous voyage paved the way for future expeditions throughout what would become Canada and the United States
