    Portrait of Lord Strathcona: Canadian Icon, 1910-1915

    $19.95

    This photograph captures Lord Strathcona, a prominent figure in Canadian history, during the early 20th century, specifically between 1910 and 1915. Born Donald Alexander Smith in Scotland, he immigrated to Canada in 1858. Strathcona played a critical role in the development of the Canadian Pacific Railway, which was vital to integrating the vast country and promoting economic growth. His contributions extended beyond railways; he was also a philanthropist who invested in various educational initiatives and supported the arts.

    Strathcona served as the High Commissioner for Canada in London, advocating for Canadian interests in Britain while fostering strong ties between the two nations. His title, granted by Queen Victoria, reflects his significant influence and the respect he garnered over his long career. The photograph, taken by the Bain News Service, captures a moment in a transformative time for Canada, illustrating the stature of a man who helped shape the nation during its formative years.

    Understanding figures like Lord Strathcona offers insight into the complexities and development of Canada as a nation. He played a key role in bridging the cultural and economic landscapes of Canada and the United Kingdom, serving as a testament to the contributions of individuals in national history.
