LUMBERING, 1887 - A Glimpse into the American Logging Industry
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the late 19th century in America, where the logging industry was thriving. The engraving, based on a drawing by J. Macdonald in 1887, depicts a lumber raft floating peacefully along a river as dusk settles in. In this scene of rugged frontier life, we see a group of hardworking men who have dedicated their lives to the demanding task of lumbering. They are depicted relaxing after a long day's work; some sit around a campfire while others lean against wooden structures known as "lean-tos". Their tired faces and worn-out clothing bear witness to their laborious efforts. The centerpiece of this image is undoubtedly the massive lumber raft itself. Constructed from sturdy logs bound together with ropes and chains, it serves as both transportation and storage for these valuable resources that fueled America's growth during this era. As we observe closely, we notice an array of tools scattered around - axes leaning against trees and canoes waiting patiently nearby - all essential elements for survival in this remote wilderness. This enchanting engraving captures not only the physical challenges faced by these frontiersmen but also their resilience and camaraderie amidst nature's vastness. It reminds us of an era when man worked harmoniously with his surroundings to shape America's landscape through sheer determination and grit. Granger Art on Demand presents us with yet another remarkable piece that
