EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Yukon/Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. Taken by an American photographer from the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The scene depicts members of the North West Mounted Police guarding the Chilkoot Pass customs post on the Canada-US border during winter. The photograph showcases a snowy landscape, with towering piles of supplies surrounding the Mounties. These packages represent the hopes and dreams of Yukon prospectors seeking their fortune in gold. Standing strong amidst harsh conditions, these Canadian policemen embody determination and resilience. The presence of the Union Jack flag proudly displayed adds to the patriotic atmosphere, symbolizing British influence in this remote corner of North America. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into life during this tumultuous time when countless individuals flocked to Canada's wild west in search of wealth. Preserved through photography, we can appreciate both its historical significance and artistic value today. It serves as a reminder that even amidst freezing temperatures and treacherous terrain, human ambition knows no bounds.
