EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Church Parade in the Colonies" takes us back to a Sunday morning on the terrace at Quebec. Created by Melton Prior and published in The Illustrated London News in 1902, this print offers a glimpse into the vibrant street scenes of colonial Canada. The scene is filled with Canadian men and women dressed in fashionable attire, eagerly making their way to church. Their clothing reflects the styles of the time, providing us with a fascinating insight into early 20th-century fashion. As we observe this bustling parade, it becomes evident that religion played an important role in the lives of these colonists. The sight of families walking together towards their place of worship highlights their strong sense of community and shared values. The terrace itself serves as a picturesque backdrop for this religious gathering. Its architecture blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings, showcasing both human ingenuity and nature's beauty. This harmonious coexistence between man-made structures and the surrounding landscape symbolizes the peaceful integration between settlers and their new environment. "Church Parade in the Colonies" not only captures a specific moment in history but also represents broader themes such as cultural assimilation and religious devotion within colonial societies. It reminds us that even thousands of miles away from home, people found solace and unity through faith. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from our past so that we may continue to appreciate its historical significance today.
