EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "LEWIS & CLARK: FISH WEIR" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases a detailed entry from William Clark's journal, documenting the Lewis and Clark expedition on 29 April 1806. It provides an intriguing glimpse into the exploration of the Pacific Northwest. The focal point of this print is an exquisite sketch at its center, depicting a Native American fish weir on the Walla Walla River in southeastern Washington. This ingenious fishing technique employed by indigenous people fascinated and impressed early explorers like Lewis and Clark. Accompanying the sketch is Clark's meticulous handwritten description, offering valuable insights into their encounter with this ancient fishing method. His words not only capture his awe but also shed light on the cultural practices of Native Americans during that time. Through this artwork, we are transported to a pivotal moment when two worlds collided – that of European explorers venturing into uncharted territories and encountering rich indigenous cultures deeply connected to their surroundings. As we admire this historical artifact captured by The Granger Collection, let us reflect upon the significance of these expeditions in shaping our understanding of America's past. May it serve as a reminder to appreciate both the natural wonders and diverse cultures that have shaped our nation throughout centuries.
