EDITORS COMMENTS
The wood engraving titled "MORMON FLIGHT, 1833" captures a pivotal moment in American history when the early Mormon settlers were forced to flee from Jackson County, Missouri in November 1833. This powerful image depicts the harrowing journey of these pioneers as they escape religious discrimination and persecution. In the foreground, we see a row boat filled with men and women rowing desperately along the river side. The tension is palpable as they try to outrun their pursuers on horseback. A lone horseman can be seen riding fiercely towards them, symbolizing the constant threat faced by the Mormons during this time. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this wood engraving. The rugged landscape of the West serves as a backdrop for this dramatic scene, emphasizing both the vastness of their journey and their determination to find freedom elsewhere. This print not only commemorates an important event in Mormon history but also highlights themes of resilience and perseverance that resonate with audiences today. It reminds us of the struggles faced by marginalized communities throughout history and serves as a reminder that our collective pursuit for equality continues. As part of Granger Art on Demand's collection, this wood engraving invites viewers to reflect on our nation's complex past while honoring those who fought against adversity for their beliefs.
