EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving takes us back to the year 1790, offering a glimpse into the early days of Pittsburgh. The image showcases a picturesque view of the town nestled in the American wilderness, surrounded by rolling hills and towering cliffs. As we peer into this late 19th-century print, we are transported to a time when Pittsburgh was still in its infancy as a settlement. The scene depicts a bustling riverside community with settlers going about their daily lives. A frontiersman can be seen standing proudly at the forefront, symbolizing the spirit of adventure and resilience that characterized those who ventured westward during this era. The landscape is dominated by nature's grandeur; lush greenery blankets the land while an expansive river flows majestically through it all. This wood engraving not only captures an important moment in Pittsburgh's history but also serves as a testament to America's frontier spirit. It reminds us of our ancestors' determination and courage as they carved out new lives on untamed lands. As we admire this artwork from The Granger Collection, let us appreciate how far Pittsburgh has come since its humble beginnings. Today, it stands tall as a vibrant city known for its industrial prowess and rich cultural heritage—a testament to human progress and resilience against all odds.
