1973 Canadian $1 Banknote
BC-46a-i CH-UNC
$4
An image of a river of logs floating past Parliament Hill has long lived in Canadian collective memory. Though beautiful and evocative, the image is actually showing an accident. Many lakes and rivers that drained into the Ottawa River became the secondary highways of the industry. Millions of logs were floated downstream to the Ottawa, en route to the St. Lawrence River and the dock yards of Montréal and Québec.
C. Gordon Yorke was the talented engraver who created the back vignettes for the $1, $2, $5 and $100 bank notes of this series. He also engraved the portraits of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir Robert Borden. The image on the back of the Scenes of Canada one-dollar bill is very well suited to the general theme of the series. It is a landscape with human activity, sweetened with a dash of the sentimental.
