Légende

The International Exhibition: British Columbia and Prince Edward Island Courts, 1862. The collection from British Columbia [in the colonial department]...consisted mainly of natural productions and articles of rude manufacture by the native Indians...[These included] curious masks worn at their religious ceremonies, specimens of their canoes, of a kind of cloth woven and ornamented by them, examples of their weapons...a large map of the district..., and specimens of woods, amongst which was a gigantic section of a tree which furnishes an admirable wood...Some of the woods were exhibited...worked up into articles for use and ornament. There were also specimens of the gold found in the colony...The collection from Prince Edward Island consisted chiefly of corn, pulse, agricultural seeds, flour, meal, pearl-barley, pork, and dairy produce, and linen and woollen manufactures...There were, also, furniture and screens made of native wood, agricultural machines and implements, harness, ships' tackles, horseshoes, preserved fish, textile materials, an article called bay-tree tallow, honey, &c. In brief, the articles exhibited were of the more severely useful description...but the collection spoke well for the industrial skill of the colony'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
