EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, showcasing the breathtaking beauty of Ottawa, Canada, as seen from Rideau Falls. The falls mark the point where the Rideau River gracefully merges with the mighty Ottawa River. Named by French settlers for their resemblance to a curtain (rideau in French), these waterfalls have become a beloved tourist attraction. The image was captured by an unknown photographer during this era, preserving a moment frozen in time. It is featured in "Scenic Marvels of the New World" edited by Professor George R. Cromwell, who recognized its significance as a geographical feature worth celebrating. The monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia and highlights the natural phenomena at play – cascading waters creating a mesmerizing cataract against Ontario's picturesque landscape. This scene not only showcases Ottawa's charm but also reflects Canada's rich history and cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported to an era when travel was more arduous yet filled with wonder and discovery. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity, there are timeless wonders that continue to captivate our hearts and minds.
