EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Canadian Sketches, Calgary to Fort Macleod" takes us on a visual journey through the Canadian wilderness in the 19th century. The print showcases the remarkable talent of the English School artist who beautifully captures the essence of this rugged landscape. The scene unfolds with a squatter's humble dwelling nestled amidst breathtaking natural beauty. Sheep Creek meanders gracefully in the foreground, reflecting the golden hues of an enchanting sunset. In the distance, we witness a family crossing a ford, their determination evident as they venture towards Fort Macleod. The artist skillfully depicts various elements that define life in Canada during this era. A bustling settlement emerges on one side - Calgary - showcasing its early development and promising future. Meanwhile, Quebec influences are subtly woven into this tapestry of Canadian identity. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes apparent that there is more than meets the eye.
