EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving takes us back to the bustling timber depot on the St Lawrence River near Quebec City in the 1850s. The image showcases a pivotal era in American trade history, where sailing ships were loaded with precious cargo ready to be shipped across North America and beyond. The scene exudes heritage and tradition as workers diligently prepare timber for its long journey. With meticulous care, they stack logs upon logs, forming towering piles that stretch towards the sky. The sheer magnitude of this operation is awe-inspiring, reflecting the booming timber industry of that time. As we delve into this historic illustration, we are transported to a bygone era when commerce thrived along these riverbanks. Ships of all sizes line up at the wharf eagerly awaiting their turn to transport these valuable forest products. This vibrant snapshot encapsulates both the beauty and significance of Quebec's maritime history. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse of Canada's rich past as an influential player in global shipping and trade networks. It serves as a reminder of how vital rivers like St Lawrence were for transporting goods during this period. This print not only captures our attention but also sparks curiosity about our shared history and reminds us of the immense impact industries such as logging had on shaping nations like Canada during the 19th century.
