EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history from the mid-19th century - an intricately painted cloth depicting Maine's state motto, "Dirigo" (I lead). The significance behind this motto stems from Maine's unique electoral tradition. At one point in time, Maine stood as the sole state to conduct elections in September. The image portrays a vivid scene that encapsulates the essence of early American life. A radiant sun shines upon a picturesque landscape featuring an anchored ship on the Atlantic Ocean and a hardworking farmer wielding a scythe amidst towering pine trees. A sailor proudly stands nearby, symbolizing Maine's strong ties to its maritime heritage. Intriguingly, this artifact also incorporates elements such as a deer and an anchor, further emphasizing the diverse aspects of Maine's identity. The central figure confidently leads with determination and purpose, embodying the spirit of Dirigo. Preserved within Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this painting on cloth serves as both a testament to Maine's historical significance and an artistic masterpiece capturing the essence of 19th-century America. It is not only a visual delight but also offers viewers an opportunity to delve into our nation's past and appreciate the rich tapestry of cultures that have shaped it over time.
