Bracebridge Falls, 1881

C$49 CAD

Bracebridge Falls as it looked in 1881: the mill, the wooden bridge and the river tumbling over the rock. A wood engraving from J.C. Dent’s The Last Forty Years (1881), restored and printed on archival matte paper.

Size: 12 x 16 in

Why no 18 x 24? The engraving was a small book illustration. Its fine lines stay crisp at 12 x 16, but any bigger and they start to soften, so we stop there.

About this print

Long before the cottage traffic, this was Bracebridge: a mill at the edge of the falls, a wooden bridge across the river, and the water pouring white over the rock below.

The engraving comes from J.C. Dent’s The Last Forty Years, published in Toronto in 1881. We restored it carefully from a scan of the book, kept every line of the original cut, and gave it a soft, aged paper tone and the caption “Bracebridge, Muskoka. 1881.”
