EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Canada's rich historical connection to ice harvesting, as seen in the image titled "Cutting Ice at Montreal" from the early 1900s. The scene unfolds on the frozen surface of a serene lake or river, where a group of workers diligently cut and saw large blocks of ice using simple yet effective tools. The ice, once harvested, would be transported to nearby shops and homes to be used in iceboxes, keeping food fresh before the era of modern refrigeration. The photograph is part of the "Pernot" series from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offering a glimpse into the past and the daily life of Canadians during this time. The image is believed to have been taken in Montreal, a city renowned for its harsh winters and extensive ice harvesting industry. As the workers carefully cut the ice, they likely endured the cold temperatures, bundled up in heavy coats and hats, their breath visible in the crisp winter air. The scene is a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the people who lived in Canada during this period, as they adapted to the harsh climate and made the most of the natural resources available to them. The ice harvesting process was a communal effort, with entire communities coming together to cut, transport, and store the ice. The blocks would be sawed into smaller pieces and stored in large icehouses, where they would be covered with sawdust to insulate and preserve the ice until it was needed. This photograph not only offers a fascinating glimpse into Canada's history but also serves as a reminder of the importance of community, resourcefulness, and the connection between people and the natural world.
