EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print captures a captivating moment in North American history. In the image, we see French missionaries and fur traders diligently carrying a canoe at a portage. The scene is set against the backdrop of a picturesque river, showcasing the breathtaking beauty of this unexplored frontier. The print transports us back to the 17th or 18th century when European explorers embarked on daring adventures to expand their colonies in North America. These brave individuals were driven by both religious fervor and economic ambition as they sought to spread Christianity while also engaging in lucrative fur trade with indigenous peoples. Amongst these figures are priests, monks, and colonial traders who played crucial roles in establishing Catholicism throughout New France. Notable historical figures such as Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette may be depicted here, known for their significant contributions to exploration during this time. This artwork serves as a testament to the spirit of discovery that defined this era. It invites us to reflect upon the challenges faced by early settlers as they navigated treacherous rivers and rugged terrains in pursuit of new opportunities. As we gaze upon this vintage illustration, we are reminded of the rich tapestry woven by religion, trade, adventure, and cultural exchange that shaped North America into what it is today.
