1883 Canoe Camp Illustration

This Ebay listing features an antique print of various scenes from a New Brunswick fishing trip dated to 1883. It includes sketches of Guides poling upriver with their humped Mi'kmaq style bark as well as illustrations of scenes in camp.

One particular scene on the lower left has been labelled with the caption "Camping Out" and shows the bark canoe flipped over with a tarp shelter rigged over the canoe poles...

The scene is reminiscent of other photos of canoe camps from the region. Here's one from an online exhibit entitled, Wolastoqiyik, Portrait of a People dated to 1862...
