EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the dramatic riots that engulfed Montreal, Canada in 1849. The image captures a pivotal moment during these tumultuous events - the burning of the House of Assembly. Illustrated by Robert Wilson for his book "The life and times of Queen Victoria" in 1900, this engraving offers a glimpse into the political unrest and rebellion that characterized this period. The flames leap high against the night sky, casting an eerie glow on the surrounding buildings. The scene is filled with chaos as rioters clash with authorities, their actions fueled by anger over the Rebellion Losses Bill. This bill had sparked widespread discontent among Canadians who felt it favored those responsible for previous rebellions against British rule. As we gaze upon this historic landscape, we are reminded of both colonialism's grip on Canada and its resistance from within. The Victorian era was marked by imperialism and power struggles across nations, making this image all the more significant. Located on Île de Montréal, Quebec's largest city becomes a battleground between conflicting ideologies. It serves as a poignant reminder of how politics can ignite passions so fierce that they consume even grand structures like the House of Assembly. Through this evocative print captured by an unknown creator but preserved by The Print Collector, we are transported to a time when rebellion flickered through Canadian streets like wildfire – forever etching itself into our collective memory.
