EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the historical landscape of Ottawa in its undeveloped state, circa 1857. The photograph showcases the tranquil beauty of the Ottawa River, with a small number of houses and a mill situated at its edge. At this time, Ottawa was proposed as the new seat of the Canadian Government, marking a significant moment in the city's history. The mill, with its tall smokestack, stands as a testament to the industrious spirit of the community, while the surrounding landscape remains largely untouched by urban development. The image, which is believed to have been imported from the Illustrated London News, offers a unique perspective on the early days of Ottawa, a time when the city was still in its infancy. The proposed move of the Canadian Government to Ottawa was a pivotal moment in the city's history, as it marked the beginning of its transformation into a political and cultural hub. Today, Ottawa is known for its stunning architecture, vibrant arts scene, and rich history, making it a must-visit destination for tourists and history buffs alike. This photograph serves as an important reminder of the city's past, offering a glimpse into a time when Ottawa was a small, undeveloped town on the edge of the Ottawa River. The image is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the city's early days and its evolution into the thriving metropolis it is today.
