EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Great Glacier in the Selkirk Mountains of Canada, taken around 1900 by an unknown photographer. The glacier's immense size and icy beauty are perfectly captured, leaving viewers in awe of its grandeur. During this time, the Selkirks were a hotbed for various natural resources such as gold, coal, copper, marble, mercury, silver, and zinc. This discovery brought about a significant shift in the region's landscape and economy. Prof. George R. Cromwell edited this remarkable image as part of his book "Scenic Marvels of the New World" published by C. N. Greig & Co. The photograph transports us to a remote wilderness where nature reigns supreme. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the image while emphasizing the stark contrast between ice and rock formations within this mountain range. As we gaze upon this breathtaking scene frozen in time, we can't help but ponder on the sheer power and resilience of nature itself. It serves as a reminder that even amidst vast untamed landscapes like these mountains and glaciers lie valuable treasures waiting to be discovered. This print from Heritage Images is not just an artistic representation; it encapsulates both historical significance and geographical wonder that continues to captivate our imagination today.
