"Trappers: Exploring the Wilderness and Capturing Nature's Beauty" Step into the world of trappers, where adventure meets artistry. Inspired by St Hubert and Durer, these intrepid individuals embarked on daring hunting expeditions that would forever shape history. One such expedition was captured in "Crossing the Divide or Thirsty Trappers Making a Rush for the River, " a stunning watercolor painting from 1837. The scene depicts trappers braving treacherous terrain to quench their thirst at Portage des Chats. Intriguingly, this artwork is just one piece of a larger collection that includes "Lake, Wind River" and "Mule Throwing Off His Pack. " These pencil and ink drawings showcase both the challenges faced by trappers in their pursuit of furs and the resilience they displayed along their journey. As we delve further into this captivating era, we encounter scenes like "Lake Scene, Wild River Mountains" and "Taking the Hump Rib. " Through delicate washes of color on paper, these artworks transport us to breathtaking landscapes nestled within Rocky Mountains' embrace. Amongst these awe-inspiring vistas lies another masterpiece - "Trapper Encampment, Lake Scene, Wind River Mountains. " This composition captures not only nature's splendor but also offers glimpses into trapper life; campfires illuminate faces as stories are shared under starry skies. The allure of being a trapper continues to captivate even centuries later. In 1888's photograph titled "The International Fur Store, " located at 163-165 Regent Street, we witness how fur trading became an integral part of society during that time. Through each stroke of paint or pencil mark left behind by talented artists from yesteryears like Durer or unknown creators alike – be it in works such as "Lake Scene, Rocky Mountains" or "Camp Fire at Night.
