EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the title page of Henri de Tonti's account of the La Salle expedition, a significant moment in American and Canadian history. The woodcut with a watercolor wash showcases the English edition printed in London in 1698. The image takes us back to the 17th century, when exploration and discovery were at their peak. It symbolizes the spirit of adventure as it depicts an explorer setting foot on new territories. This artifact holds immense historical value as it documents one of France's most ambitious expeditions led by René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle. As we delve into this piece of history, we are transported to a time when North America was being shaped by colonial powers. The Mississippi River and New France play pivotal roles in this narrative, highlighting French Canada's land claims during that era. Henri de Tonti's account serves as a valuable source for understanding these early European interactions with indigenous peoples and their efforts to establish dominance over vast territories. Through this photo print, we can appreciate the intricate details preserved within its pages - from illustrations depicting native flora and fauna to maps outlining uncharted lands. This image invites us to explore our past and reflect upon how these explorations have shaped both American and Canadian identities today.
