EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking beauty of Ottawa, Canada, as seen from Rideau Falls in 1897. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the essence of this historic city is undeniable. Rideau Falls, located in Ottawa, Ontario, marks the point where the majestic Rideau River cascades into the mighty Ottawa River. Its name originates from early French settlers who likened its appearance to a grand curtain or "rideau" in French. Taken from Prof. Geo. R. Cromwell's book "A Tour Through the New World America" published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London in 1897, this photograph offers a unique aerial view of Ottawa during that era. The monochrome composition adds an air of drama and timelessness to the scene while showcasing both natural phenomena and human-made structures. From elevated rooftops to panoramic vistas, every detail contributes to creating a truly spectacular sight. As you gaze upon this historical treasure, let your imagination transport you back to a bygone era when Canada was still emerging as a nation. Feel the power and force of nature as water sprays gracefully over rocks below while admiring the charm and character that defined Ottawa at that time. This print serves as a testament to our rich heritage and reminds us how far we have come since those days in nineteenth-century North America.
