EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Reverend Isaac Taylor's 'Scenes in America' published in 1821, depicts a fascinating moment during Samuel Hearne's expedition to northern Canada in 1769. The image shows Reverend Hearne (58) in the foreground, intently watching a Native American sword-swallower with awe. In the background, Native Americans are shown boiling water in a large wooden barrel using hot stones. A beaver (59), the iconic symbol of the Canadian fur trade, is shown in the lower left corner, while a group of Native Americans are seen trading furs at an annual market nearby. The scene also includes a Moravian missionary, likely accompanying Hearne on his journey, dressed in his distinctive costume. In the distance, an Inuit or Esquimaux house can be seen, providing a glimpse into the lives of the indigenous peoples of the region. The image also includes a sacrifice scene, with a Native American mother holding her child above a grave, likely as part of a spiritual ritual. This engraving offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the diverse cultures and traditions of early Canada, providing both amusement and instruction for young readers. The detail and vibrancy of the hand-colored engraving bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to a fascinating moment in Canadian history. This image is a valuable educational resource, offering insights into the customs, costumes, and daily life of the people who inhabited this region over 200 years ago.
