Arrival of the Governor General, Lord Minto, at Quebec Trailer (1902)

22 February 1902 Factual 2 mins

This film records the arrival of the Governor General of Canada, the Earl of Minto, accompanied by the Countess of Minto and their household, as they cross the river in ice canoes. Upon reaching the Quebec side, the canoes encounter a wide ledge of ice extending from the wharf, over which blanket-clad snowshoers haul the Governor, his wife, and their guests. A vivid glimpse of winter travel and ceremonial pageantry in early 20th-century Canada. Although Thomas Edison has sometimes been mistakenly named as director, he was never credited as director on any films; the actual director of this short is unknown.
