EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print, titled "View of the Harbour, Montreal," showcases an intriguing moment in Montreal harbour during the 19th century. The image transports us back in time, as a birch bark canoe, a traditional means of transportation for Indigenous peoples such as the Iroquois, Algonquin, and Huron, approaches the shore. In the foreground, a three-masted cargo sailing ship anchors, its sails billowing in the wind. Behind it, a steam-powered vessel puffs out plumes of smoke, symbolizing the encroaching modernity. The confluence of these three distinct modes of transport reflects the rich and complex history of Montreal and the surrounding region. Montreal's harbour was a vital hub for fur trade and transportation, as well as a gateway to the interior of North America. The birch bark canoe was an essential tool for Indigenous peoples, allowing them to navigate the waterways and trade furs with European settlers. The sailing ship represented the economic might of European powers, transporting goods between Europe and the New World. And the steam-powered vessel heralded the dawn of a new era, bringing with it the potential for faster and more efficient transportation. This print, from the Baynton-Williams Romantic Prints of Travelling collection (Catalogue No 205), offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, highlighting the interconnectedness of different cultures and the ever-evolving landscape of Montreal and its harbour.
