"Engraving 1878: A Glimpse into My First Residence and Emigrant Life in Canada, Where Gold is Found on Our Lot" Step back in time to the year 1878, where my journey as an emigrant led me to a new beginning in Canada. As I settled into my first residence, little did I know that this land held the promise of gold. Amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Canada, we embarked on a quest for fortune. With determination and perseverance, we discovered gold right on our own lot. The thrill of striking it rich was accompanied by the challenges and triumphs of emigrant life. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean in Great Crosby near Liverpool, UK, The New Schools of Merchant Taylors witnessed remarkable company and academic growth. Education flourished as Bonaparte Victorious became a topic of discussion among scholars. In Malta's picturesque San Antonio campgrounds, our Indian contingent showcased their artillery and cavalry skills. Their presence added vibrancy to this Mediterranean island as they floated a massive 38-ton gun across Marsa-Muscetta harbor. The Berlin Congress served as a diplomatic stage where plenipotentiaries were warmly received at the British Embassy. Prince Gortchakoff's grand entrance captured attention as he was carried with regal grace towards the Congress Hall. Across Europe's borders lies Boulogne-Sur-Mer in France—a city envisioning progress with its proposed new deep-sea harbor. This ambitious project aimed to enhance trade routes and elevate Boulogne-Sur-Mer's significance on an international scale. Back home in Windsor, England mourned the loss of King George of Hanover through his funeral ceremony at St George's Chapel within Windsor Castle grounds. The somber atmosphere reflected both respect for royalty and collective grief felt throughout the nation. At Paris Exhibition grounds during leisurely afternoons spent strolling amidst cultural wonders from around the world, the Prince of Wales's Indian presents caught visitors' attention.
