EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Royal Visit to Canada" takes us back in time to the year 1860. The image showcases a momentous occasion when His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, embarked on a grand tour of Canada. The scene unfolds in Montreal, where an impressive fleet of boats and ships eagerly await the arrival of royalty. The maritime atmosphere is palpable as steamers and tugboats gracefully glide along the St. Lawrence River. These vessels serve as escorts for the distinguished visitor's boat, ensuring a safe and regal journey. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, our attention is drawn to a magnificent grand canoe reception taking place on Lake Saint-Louis. This traditional Canadian spectacle pays homage to indigenous culture while honoring the prince with its splendor. The print beautifully captures both the excitement felt by Canadians and their warm hospitality towards their royal guest. It serves as a testament to Canada's deep connection with its British heritage during this era. With its intricate details and vibrant depiction of this significant event in North American history, Edwin Weedon's engraving transports us back in time. It offers viewers an opportunity to witness firsthand how royal visits were celebrated amidst stunning natural landscapes and alongside proud Canadian citizens eager to extend their warmest welcome.
