Commemorative Crap

Inspired by Red's Forum entry, we dug out this beautiful commemorative plate - a gift from the Memsahib to BB.

The plate commemorates the 'Federation of the Provinces Forming the Dominion of Canada' in 1867 and a very fine object it is too.

Here we see the perfect family of settlers, mum and dad with the children and puppy, all upright and bold gazing to the West, while watching wagon loads of goods heading on to the Plains. All surrounded by the crest of each of the Provinces. Have a large look for the details.

Inspiration on a plate.

No sign of those tiresome natives getting in the way.
