EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled 'Scenes in America' from the children's book 'For the Amusement and Instruction of Little Tarry-at-Home Travelers,' published in London in 1821 by John Harris, offers a fascinating glimpse into life in Newfoundland during the 18th century. The image is composed of three distinct scenes, each showcasing various aspects of the Newfoundland colony's diverse cultural landscape. In the foreground, a Native American wigwam or teepee is depicted, suggesting the presence of indigenous peoples who had long inhabited the island before European settlement. The wigwam, with its conical shape and smoke emerging from the top, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage that existed on the island long before European contact. Moving to the middle ground, we see a group of English boats engaged in cod fishing in the bay. Cod fishing was a significant industry in Newfoundland, with the cod fishery being one of the oldest and most profitable in the world. The boats, with their distinctive red sails, are shown hauling in their nets, filled with the prized fish. Finally, in the background, we see a collection of huts and fish flakes, used for drying the salt cod. The huts, with their thatched roofs and smoke rising from their chimneys, suggest the presence of European settlers. The fish flakes, with their long, wooden racks used to dry the fish in the sun, are a testament to the importance of preserving the cod catch for the long winter months. This engraving also features other notable landmarks of the region, including the St. Lawrence River, the Quebec City skyline, the Heights of Abraham, and the Montmorency Falls. The image is a rich educational resource, providing insight into the diverse cultural landscape of Newfoundland during the 18th century and offering a glimpse into the daily life of its inhabitants.
