So taking the period from the early settlers of Spain to the Dominion of Canada in 1867, what was this period like in terms of the importing European goods like clothes, furniture, musical instruments, kitchenware, paintings, etc...

Im talking finished goods here, manufactured European items.

I know Mexico City had a printing press, Recife in Brazil had some Dutch paintings, I know many of the American and French colonists had imported musical instruments for entertainment purposes.

But how was it like overall? Were these imports relatively accessible? Was there more of an interest to manufacture their own clothes, kitchenware, furniture, etc...?

What about books? How easy was it to get a new book by Leibniz or the libretto of one of Handel's operas?
