EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Fort Youkon, nestled in the Gulf of Norton, Alaska. Founded in 1847 by the Hudson Bay Company, this establishment played a significant role in shaping the region's history and commerce. The image showcases Indians encamped around the palisades, highlighting their integral presence within this frontier community. Engraved by Frederick Whymper between 1864 and 1867, this illustration was published in "Le tour du monde" in 1869. Edited by Edouard Charton and released as part of Hachette edition's Selva Collection, it offers a glimpse into the voyage and adventures through English Colombia, Vancouver Island, and Alaska. The photograph beautifully captures both architectural details of Fort Youkon and its natural surroundings. With its exterior view overlooking a serene river landscape, one can imagine how life unfolded within these walls during that era. This image not only portrays an important historical landmark but also symbolizes friendship between different cultures united under one roof. It serves as a reminder of America's rich heritage while showcasing the harmonious coexistence between Native Americans and settlers during this time period. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this momentous scene with his lens for all to appreciate today. As we gaze upon this black-and-white engraving from our private collection, we are transported back to an era when adventure awaited at every turn along America's western hemisphere.
