EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, titled "OREGON PINE FOREST, 1838" takes us back to a time of exploration and discovery in the vast wilderness of America's northwest. Created by Charles Wilkes for his Narrative of the United States Exploring Expedition, this print was published in Philadelphia in 1844. The image transports us to an early American forest, where towering pine trees dominate the landscape. The artist skillfully captures the essence of these majestic evergreens, their branches reaching towards the heavens as if trying to touch the clouds above. The dense foliage creates a sense of mystery and adventure, beckoning viewers to step into this untouched realm. Wilkes' engraving not only showcases nature's beauty but also serves as a record of measurement and exploration. It reminds us that during this era, scientific expeditions were conducted with meticulous detail and precision. This particular scene likely served as valuable documentation for understanding Oregon's unique ecosystem. As we gaze upon this historic artwork today, we are reminded of our connection to nature and our ongoing quest for knowledge about our world. It is a testament to human curiosity and our desire to explore uncharted territories. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this remarkable piece from history so that we may continue to appreciate its beauty and significance centuries later.
