EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Near the river, Gulf of St. Lawrence: boat on a sleigh, near Brule" transports us back to the winter wonderland of 19th century Canada. Taken from Lieut. Henry Buckton Laurence's book "Sketches of Canadian Sports and Pastimes" this image showcases an intriguing scene captured by an unknown artist. In this frozen landscape, we see a unique mode of transportation - a boat gracefully perched upon a sleigh. The juxtaposition between the icy river and the sturdy wooden vessel creates a sense of awe and curiosity. It is as if time has stood still in this moment, freezing both nature and human activity. The location near Brule and Cape Tormentin in the Gulf of St. Lawrence adds to the mystique surrounding this image. The vastness of North America's western hemisphere is palpable as we imagine ourselves standing there, surrounded by untouched snow-covered landscapes. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures every intricate detail in his photograph, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind it. This artwork serves as a reminder of how Canadians embraced their harsh winters with creativity and resilience. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one small fragment of Canadian history that continues to inspire admiration for its people and their ability to adapt even amidst challenging conditions.
